Installation disc for wifi adapter

[junioreality]

I just bought a Cudy AC650 wifi adapter. I don't think Mint recognizes it yet, but there is an installation disc. The Readme text has no instructions for install. It just mentions the name of the adapter. I'm trying to figure out what command I can use to install the drivers from the disc.

Try this in the Terminal, one line at a time:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential git dkms
git clone https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU.git
cd rtl8821CU
chmod +x dkms-install.sh
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
sudo modprobe 8821cu 

Reboot
