Am I missing something?

Should have said what was installed

khadas@Khadas:~/david/deviceapi$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.9.241 (khadas@b8b78b6b0b20) (gcc version 7.3.1 20180425 [linaro-7.3-2018.05 revision d29120a424ecfbc167ef90065c0eeb7f91977701] (Linaro GCC 7.3-2018.05) ) #18 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 25 09:27:39 CST 2021
