-Open your package manager and install 'Aircrack-ng' package. Be sure to check that the version offered is up-to-date -- it often isn't.
+With the exception of Linux penetration testing distributions, packages are usually out of date (OS X is the exception). In this case, uninstalling the package and installing from sources is the recommended way to go.
+We offer packages for a number of Linux distributions in 64 bit thanks to [[https://packagecloud.io/aircrack-ng/|PackageCloud.io]] so you can use your distro's package manager to install and keep Aircrack-ng up to date:
+  * Debian
+  * Ubuntu
+  * Mint
+  * SLES
+  * OpenSuse
+  * Fedora
+  * RHEL
+  * CentOS
+  * Amazon Linux
+  * Elementary OS
+While most folks want to use our "[[https://packagecloud.io/aircrack-ng/release/install|release]]" packages, "[[https://packagecloud.io/aircrack-ng/git/install|git]]" packages are available too for those who decide to use bleeding edge.
+More details about them can be found in our [[https://aircrack-ng.blogspot.com/2018/10/aircrack-ng-packages.html|blog post]].
-On OSX, install it is via [[https://www.macports.org/|Macports]]. Simply do "sudo port install aircrack-ng".

+Prior to using the software, make sure to install the drivers for your particular wireless card. See this [[install_drivers#windows|link]] for the instructions. We currently only support Airpcap; other adapters may be supported but require development of your own DLL so the different tools can interact with it.
 To now use the Aircrack-ng suite, start Windows Explorer and double click on **Aircrack-ng GUI.exe** inside "bin" subdirectory.  The GUI requires .NET version 4.6.1 to run.
-Alternatively, open a command prompt (Start menu -> Execute -> cmd.exe) and change to the  "C:\aircrack-ng-1.2-win\bin" directory and execute the individual commands.
