Error: "failed to load enclave" when Running Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) Application

$ sudo /sbin/depmod
$ sudo /sbin/modprobe isgx

If you get an error, the Intel SGX driver was not correctly installed.

1. Download the desired SGX driver from the latest Intel SGX Linux Driver Repository (As an example, driver_2.6.0_b0a445.bin is the regular SGX driver; driver_1.36.bin is the DCAP driver).
2. Execute the bin file: sudo ./sgx_linux_x64_driver_2.6.0_b0a445b.bin.
3. You should see a Installation is successful! message.
4. Confirm that the driver was installed: ls /dev | grep sgx.
