Trying to compile custom kernel however when compiling using make-kpkg the command is not found

So I have to create a custom kernel for a class and I have followed the instructions, but once I arrived at the step to finally compile the kernel using these three lines:

sudo make-kpkg clean
export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2
sudo fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel-image kernel_headers


To install I used the command:

sudo apt-get install kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot wget bzip2


Then when I hit this problem the only advice on google was to reinstall so I just used:

sudo apt-get install kernel


However I am still getting the error that make-kpkg: command not found when trying to run sudo make-kpkg clean and not sure how else to proceed. I am using the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager to run Ubuntu 16.04_AY2017-18_v1.2

I cannot figure out what else to try to get the kernel to compile any help would be great.
