1. Get the code
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng

Downloads the entire project code from GitHub to your computer.

cd aircrack-ng

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Official Install Script

Easy Recommended
Prerequisites
  • APT (Debian/Ubuntu 계열) Built into Debian/Ubuntu-based Linux distributions.
  • Homebrew A package manager for macOS/Linux.

Installs directly from the APT package repository (Debian/Ubuntu-based).

brew install autoconf automake libtool openssl shtool pkg-config hwloc pcre2 sqlite3 libpcap cmocka

Installs the pre-built package via Homebrew β€” no source build required.

apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libssl-dev shtool zlib1g-dev libpcap-dev libsqlite3-dev libpcre2-dev libhwloc-dev libcmocka-dev screen expect libbsd-dev

3. Docker

Easy
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Docker Desktop Needed to build and run containers. Install it and keep it running in the background.
docker build -t aircrack-ng .

Builds a runnable image based on the Dockerfile.

docker run -p 8080:80 aircrack-ng

Runs the built image as an actual container.

βœ… Run docker compose ps to check the containers are Up. If the README mentions a port, open http://localhost:PORT in your browser.

4. CMake

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • CMake The tool used to generate build configuration.
  • C/C++ 컴파일러 Windows needs Visual Studio (Community edition, free), macOS needs Xcode Command Line Tools, Linux needs the gcc/g++ package.
cd lib/radiotap

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

mkdir build && cd build

Creates a folder to hold the build output and moves into it.

cmake ..

Analyzes the source code and generates build configuration files (must be run inside the build folder).

make

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

βœ… Check that an executable was created inside the build folder, then run it directly (e.g. ./build/app_name).

5. .NET

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • .NET SDK The SDK required for the dotnet command.
cd lib/csharp/Example1

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

dotnet restore

Downloads the packages the project depends on.

dotnet run

Builds the project and runs it immediately.

βœ… After dotnet run, check the message or address shown in the terminal.

6. Python

Easy
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Python 3 On Windows, be sure to check 'Add Python to PATH' during installation.
pip install .

Installs the package published on PyPI directly β€” no need to clone the source.

python <μ‹€ν–‰ν•  파일λͺ…>.py # READMEμ—μ„œ μ •ν™•ν•œ μ‹€ν–‰ 파일λͺ…을 ν™•μΈν•˜μ„Έμš”

Runs the Python script (or module).

βœ… If it runs without errors and prints output in the terminal, it worked.

7. Make

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Make Usually pre-installed on Linux/macOS. On Windows, install separately (e.g. via MSYS2 or WSL).
make

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

make install

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

make check

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.
