I am trying to install a device driver for a wifi dongle on a raspberry pi 3

I want to compile it but i am not able to since the make command says there is no build folder (i indeed cannot access that folder)

I have tried installing the kernel files (or whatever this is called i dont know much about linux, just getting started) with:

Code:
apt-get install linux-headers-(uname -r)
I also tried:

Code:
apt-get install linux-generic
both commands either dont find a package or say the package is dependent or obsolete

I hope this enough information if i missed anything just ask I will provide it

Any help is apprechiated

thanks
roedel
