    Welcome to askubuntu. Please add some information to your question like what did you try, where did you fail ? Installing aircrack-ng is relatively easy compared to using it. Maybe you should first learn some basics ... – pLumo Aug 04 '17 at 06:13

    "I am new to use ubuntu." so why do you feel the need to download it and not use the one that is already in the software center? "I don't know how to install aircrack-ng" sorry, but that does not bode well if installing already is an issue ... aircrack-ng is not a tool for a beginner. FAR from it. – Rinzwind Aug 04 '17 at 07:59

to install it on my 16.04 (LTS) i'd use sudo apt install aircrack-ng which I tried & it installed fine.

I use apt (or apt-get) as they download whatever is required & then dpkg install. dpkg is used to install; but it assumes you've already grabbed required dependencies, which is why apt|apt-get is easier.

  • I used apt depends aircrack-ng & for my box it has 10 required deps; meaning dpkg -i install would not have worked unless all these were already installed. – guiverc Aug 04 '17 at 07:58
  • if you've downloading it (say aircrack--version-info.deb) the command to install the .deb file you downloaded is sudo dpkg -i aircrack--version-info which assumes its located in your working-directory (current directory). I used apt search aircrack-ng to show version(s) available in my enabled repositories, and sudo apt show aircrack-ng to display info about the package ... which told me it's in UNIVERSE repo. on my system UNIVERSE is enabled; if its not on yours you'll need to enable it first. If the apt search revealed no results, it's probably not enabled. – guiverc Aug 06 '17 at 14:52
