installing rtl8814AU wifi adapter driver on ubuntu 16.04
I'm trying to install an rtl18814 driver for an ASUS USB AC68 wifi adapter. There have been quite a few threads about this, which being ignorant I found impenetrable. But there was one thread that seemed straightforward. Following the suggestion by @SomeOne01 from this thread, I downloaded a zipfile called rtl8814au-master.zipfrom this site and followed @SomeOne01's instructions. It worked seamlessly on Ubuntu 18.04, which was a first in my ubuntu experience. But unfortunately I needed the adapter on a machine running 16.04 (xenial). When I ran make on that machine, I got the following error.
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.4.0-139-generic/build M=/usr/local/src/rtl8814au-master modules

Could anybody please suggest how to proceed on 16.04 xenial?
Thank you very much for any suggestions.

What kernel are you running on your 16.04 LTS? The download says it's for 4.15 or later so do you have HWE enabled? (default kernel for 16.04 LTS is 4.4, but with HWE enabled 16.04 uses 4.15, and the instructions tell you 4.14 is required at a minimum)

What kernel are you running on your 16.04 LTS? The download says it's for 4.15 or later so do you have HWE enabled? (default kernel for 16.04 LTS is 4.4, but with HWE enabled 16.04 uses 4.15, and the instructions tell you 4.14 is required at a minimum)
