For the commands that say Error, use the word sudo first, then the command.

example:

sudo dkms add ./rtl8723de

It'll ask for a password. Use your login password.

Have you completed the rest of the commands with sudo that had an message saying "Error! You must be root to use this command."?

If so, paste the result of the following to see if the driver has been installed:
