I have referenced the thread at: MacBook Pro camera not working on Ubuntu 18.04

It lists the following steps:

cd /etc/local/src
git clone https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie.git
cd bcwc_pcie/firmware
sudo make
sudo make install
cd ..
sudo make
sudo install
sudo depmod
sudo modprobe -r bdc_pci
sudo modprobe facetimehd

I had the camera working, but forgot what I did. After an update, the camera stopped working.

I just followed the above steps except for the sudo install didn't work, so I did sudo make install.

I am now getting the following error when I try to sudo modprobe facetimehd:

wayne@MacBookUbuntu:~/Downloads/bcwc_pcie$ sudo modprobe facetimehd
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'facetimehd': Exec format error

Also is there a way to make the change permanent once fixed?

  Update: It works. Apparently all the steps above work if you substitute sudo make install for sudo install. I rebooted and did a fresh download and the steps worked. I had been trying to save myself a step by using the old download.

  This question just gets worse and worse all the time and I'm starting to believe that the continual deterioration is impossible to stop. I tried to reject a previous conflicting edit, but I didn't succeed because two other editors overrode me and accepted it anyway. You said 5th paragraph that sudo install didn't work (obviously not) so what's the sense of degrading the original source except to purposefully create confusion? More importantly sudo make command is a nightmare from a security point of view/ The correct command is make with sudo.
