Can't add DKMS configuration

I found this command line in the forum and tried to followed it as it is mentioned it works…

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms

git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git

sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes

sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10

sudo depmod -a

sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/

But when I enter this command line I get this error

$ sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes

Error! Could not find module source directory.

Directory: /usr/src/.-rtl8192cu-fixes does not exist.

Please if anyone can sincerely help me. I am not really an advance user when it comes to Linux so your help and patience will be very helpful to me …

As you say in the comments:

The program 'git' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install git

Read the error messages before you continue.

To clone a Git repository, you have to install git

sudo apt-get install git

Now run the commands below in the same folder

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms

git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git

sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes

sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10

sudo depmod -a

sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/
