Step I: Installation

In most distributions (at least the very common ones) kismet is provided as a package with all its dependencies and can be downloaded and installed right away via the distribute-own package manager.

A manual compiling is of course, possible as well.

Note:

Before compiling, make sure to have libcap installed on your system.
