-  make sqlite=true install
-==== Compiling with PCRE support ====
+Commands are exactly the same as Linux but instead of **make**, use **gmake** (with **CC=gcc5 CXX=g++5** or any more recent gcc version installed).
-Airodump-ng can match SSID with a regular expression when compiled with PCRE:
+==== Compiling on MacOS ====
-  make pcre=true
+Commands are exactly the same as Linux
-  make pcre=true install
+==== Latest Git (development) Sources ====
-=== OS X ===
+**Note:** Compilation parameters can also be used with the sources from our git repository.
-It can be compiled either with XCode 7+ or with macports
+  git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng
+  cd aircrack-ng
+  autoreconf -i
+  ./configure --with-experimental
+  make
+  make install
+  ldconfig
-Macports:
+==== ./configure flags ====
-  gmake macport=true sqlite=true experimental=true pcre=true
+When configuring, the following flags can be used and combined to adjust the suite to your choosing:
+  * **with-airpcap=DIR**: needed for supporting airpcap devices on windows (cygwin or msys2 only) Replace DIR above with the absolute location to the root of the extracted source code from the Airpcap CD or downloaded SDK available online. Required on Windows to build besside-ng, besside-ng-crawler, easside-ng, tkiptun-ng and wesside-ng when building experimental tools. The developer pack (Compatible with version 4.1.1 and 4.1.3) can be downloaded at https://support.riverbed.com/content/support/software/steelcentral-npm/airpcap.html
-XCode:
+  * **with-experimental**: needed to compile tkiptun-ng, easside-ng, buddy-ng, buddy-ng-crawler, airventriloquist and wesside-ng. libpcap development package is also required to compile most of the tools. If not present, not all experimental tools will be built. On Cygwin, libpcap is not present and the Airpcap SDK replaces it. See --with-airpcap option above. On debian based distro, install libpcap-dev
-  gmake xcode=true sqlite=true experimental=true pcre=true
+  * **with-ext-scripts**: needed to build airoscript-ng, versuck-ng, airgraph-ng and airdrop-ng. Note: Each script has its own dependencies. Note: It's only required in install phase.
+  * **with-gcrypt**: Use libgcrypt crypto library instead of the default OpenSSL. And also use internal fast sha1 implementation (borrowed from GIT) Dependency (Debian): libgcrypt20-dev
-==== Compiling with AirPcap support (cygwin only) ===
+  * **with-duma**: Compile with DUMA support. DUMA is a library to detect buffer overruns and under-runs. Dependencies (debian): duma
-  - Copy 'developer' directory from the [[airpcap|AirPcap]] CD at the same level as 'Aircrack-ng' directory
+  * **with-xcode**: Set this flag to true to compile on OS X with Xcode 7+.
-  - Append 'airpcap=true' parameter to make:
-  make airpcap=true
+  * **disable-libnl**: Set-up the project to be compiled without libnl (1 or 3). Linux option only.
-  make airpcap=true install
-==== Compiling on FreeBSD ====
+  * **without-opt**: Do not enable stack protector (on GCC 4.9 and above).
-Commands are exactly the same as Linux but instead of **make**, use **gmake** (or **CC=gcc5** or any other installed gcc version).
+  * **enable-shared**: Make OSdep a shared library.
-==== Latest Git (development) Sources ====
+  * **disable-shared**: When combined with enable-static, it will statically compile Aircrack-ng.
-**Note:** Compilation parameters can also be used with the sources from our subversion repository.
+  * **with-avx512**: On x86, add support for AVX512 instructions in aircrack-ng. Only use it when the current CPU supports AVX512.
-  git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng
+  * **with-static-simd=**: Compile a single optimization in aircrack-ng binary. Useful when compiling statically and/or for space-constrained devices. Valid SIMD options: x86-sse2, x86-avx, x86-avx2, x86-avx512, ppc-altivec, ppc-power8, arm-neon, arm-asimd. Must be used with --enable-static --disable-shared. When using those 2 options, the default is to compile the generic optimization in the binary. **--with-static-simd** merely allows to choose another one.
-  cd aircrack-ng
-  autoreconf -i
-  ./configure
-  make
-  make install
-==== Nightly Build ====
+  * **enable-maintainer-mode**: It is important to enable this flag when developing with Aircrack-ng. This flag enables additional compile warnings and safety features.
-http://nightly.aircrack-ng.org/ contains a nightly tarball from each day. This is handy if you don't have access to SVN (subversion). Just download and build per building the current version instructions. Optionally you can enable the extra features with "sqlite=true" and "experimental=true" per above.
+===== Troubleshooting Tips =====
+==== error while loading shared libraries: libaircrack-ng.so.0 ====
-==== Legacy ====
+Run **ldconfig** as root or with "sudo" to solve the issue.

+====== Installing pre-compiled binaries ======
-==== "build" - No such file or directory ====
+===== Linux/BSD/OSX =====
-On Debian-based distros, if you get something similar to:\\
-  /bin/sh: line 0: cd: /lib/modules/2.6.15-28-amd64-generic/build: No such file or directory
+With the exception of Linux penetration testing distributions, packages are usually out of date (MacOS is the exception). In this case, uninstalling the package and installing from sources is the recommended way to go.
-  Makefile.inc:66: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-28-amd64-generic/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH.
-  Stop.
-Solution:
+On MacOS, install it is via [[https://www.macports.org/|Macports]] or [[https://brew.sh/|brew]]. Simply do "brew install aircrack-ng" or "sudo port install aircrack-ng"
-The build directory gets installed together with the kernel headers, so either you lack the correct headers or your KERNELPATH is wrong.  Please check that `uname -r` returns "2.6.15-28-amd64-generic".
-Do a "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`" or just "sudo apt-get install linux-headers".
-If uname returns exactly that string and the current headers are installed, the remove the headers and install them again. Also check /usr/src for installed header files, maybe it got mixed up for whatever reason.
-In the above examples, needless to say, change "2.6.15-28-amd64-generic" to whatever you are running.
-==== "openssl/hmac.h" - No such file or directory ====
-If you get something similar to:\\
-   crypto.h:12:26: error: openssl/hmac.h: No such file or directory
-   crypto.h:13:25: error: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory
-   crypto.h:15:25: error: openssl/rc4.h: No such file or directory
-   crypto.h:16:25: error: openssl/aes.h: No such file or directory
-Solution:
-You are missing the OpenSSL development package.  Depending on the distribution, download and install openssl-devel or libssl-devel (libssl-dev /Ubuntu/). Or worst case, install it from source: http://www.openssl.org.
-==== "zlib.h" No such file or directory ====
-If you get something similar to:
-   wesside-ng.c:54:18: error: zlib.h: No such file or directory
-Solution:
-You are missing the zlib development package. Depending on the distribution, download and install zlib-devel.  Or worst case, install it from source: http://www.zlib.net.

-You get something similar to:
-   radiotap-parser.h:29: error: conflicting types for ‘__le64’
-   /usr/include/linux/types.h:158: error: previous declaration of ‘__le64’ was here
-See [[http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=3311.0|this thread]] for a solution.
-====== Installing pre-compiled binaries ======
-===== Linux =====
-Open your package manager and install 'Aircrack-ng' package. Be sure to check that the version offered is up-to-date -- you may see problems with older versions, especially if you have a card for which support was added recently, e.g. ACX, Broadcom or Intel. Ubuntu and Debian are particularly problematic in this matter.
 ===== Windows =====
 The Windows version of the Aircrack-ng suite does not have an install program. You must manually install (unzipping archive) the software.
-Here are the steps to follow for Windows XP:
+Here are the steps to follow for Windows:

-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.
+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 [[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en|.NET Framework 2.0]] to run (.NET Frameworks 1.0/1.1 are not able to run this executable, 2.0 or better **MUST** be installed).

 **Important notes**:
+  * [[airmon-ng|Airmon-ng]] is a Linux/FreeBSD tool only.
   * Remember that Windows only supports a limited subset of the commands.
   * Some troubleshooting tips specific to XP and Vista can be found on this [[airodump-ng|page]].
-====== Installing on Mac OSX ======
-**Important note**: airodump-ng and aireplay-ng will not work under OSX natively. Which means, injection and capture will have to use other means. If you have an intel Mac (any recent-ish Mac is), check out the VMware Fusion option which is mentioned lower on this page.
-The simplest and easiest way to install on Mac OS X is via [[http://www.macports.org/|Macports]]. You simply do "sudo port install aircrack-ng".
-Alternatively, use the following instructions:
-  - Make sure you have Xcode installed on your Mac, which can be found on the installer CD/DVD which came with your Mac (or downloaded).
-  - After getting the source you can do a simple "make && sudo make install" from the untarred directory.
-  - When you use the stable, you need to rename the Makefile.osx to Makefile and when you use the dev version it will autodetect you are using Darwin and compile fine.
-Optional is openssl-dev and sqlite3 which can be installed through fink
-====== Installing on OpenBSD ======
-See this [[http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=4658.0|thread]] for instructions on installing and using the Aircrack-ng suite on OpenBSD.
-====== Installing VMware Image - UNSUPPORTED ======
-**Important Note**: Virtualization solutions (VMware/VirtualBox/Virtual PC/...) only work with USB cards.  Card that are PCI/MiniPCI/PCMCIA/CardBus/Express Card/PCI Express/PCI-X/MiniPCI Express won't work at all.
-===== Requirements =====
-  * VMWare Workstation 6.02, VMWare Player 2.02 (freeware) or VMWare Fusion beta for intel based Mac's
-  * Wireless USB with one of the following chipsets:
-    * rtl8187
-    * rt2570
-    * rt73
-  * Approximately 2Gb of hard disk space
-**Important note:** VMWare Workstation 6.5 (and maybe Player 2.5 too) is known not to work correctly with rtl8187 driver.  It uses the whole CPU and it seems to be hanging (it is really slow) for an unknown reason.
-===== Starting =====
-  - Install VMWare Workstation or Player
-  - Download this VMware image [[http://download.aircrack-ng.org/vmware-aircrack-ng-v4.7z|here]] or via [[http://www.fulldls.com/download-app-1882388-vmwareaircrackngv4+7z.torrent|BitTorrent]] and unpack it somewhere.
-  - Start VMware and select "open". (Open the virtual machine)
-  - Attach your USB adapter.
-  - If the USB adapter is recognized automatically you'll find a small USB icon in the lower right corner of your VMWare window.  If not you have to attach it manually.
-**Notes:**
-  * Uncompress the file on a filesystem that supports large files; NTFS, ext3, ... (all FAT filesystems, including FAT32, do not support large files).
-  * Use [[http://www.7-zip.org|7-zip]] or [[http://www.rarlab.com/|Winrar]] (at least latest stable version) on Windows.  For Linux (and other OSes), use [[http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/|p7zip]] (it should be in the repositories of your distribution).
-  * Here are a few reasons why the download doesn't work:
-    * That sounds logical but make sure the URL is correct.
-    * Check your DNS, make sure it can resolve "download.aircrack-ng.org" (by the way, the server answers to ping).  If it doesn't, use [[http://www.opendns.org|OpenDNS]] (Primary: 208.67.222.222 - Secondary: 208.67.220.220).
-  * You don't need any driver for wireless adapters (and other USB adapters) on the OS running VMware.
-  * The login credentials for the image are user id "root" with password "root". On some versions the password is "toor".
-  * The [[faq#is_vmware_supported|FAQ]] has some limited information about running the Aircrack-ng suite under VMWare.
-===== Manually attaching USB device =====
-On VMware Player, the device should be shown in the title bar, click on it to activate it.
-On VMware Workstation, use menu "VM --> Removable devices --> USB" and then select the device:
-{{ http://pictures.aircrack-ng.org/other/vmware_usb.jpg }}
-It will automatically unplug the device from Windows and attach it to the virtual machine.
-===== Loading Wireless Device Drivers =====
-The drivers can be loaded via the menu inside the VM:
