   * **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.
+  * **enable-maintainer-mode**: It is important to enable this flag when developing with Aircrack-ng. This flag enables additional compile warnings and safety features.

-With the exception of Linux penetration testing distributions, packages are usually out of date (OS X is the exception).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

-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]].

 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.
