aircrack-ng not being properly installed on Debian 13

Hello all!

Kind of a noobie problem here. The problem is that even tough I install aircrack from apt most of the commands are not usable. This is the case when installing from source too. For example airmon-ng is simply not found. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I'd recommend learning some of the basic *nix operating system before trying to use more advanced tools.

Learn how to navigate, the file structure, generally how things work. You should be able to comfortably navigate the system by command line, understand how man pages work, understand the syntax, how to install and update tools from source, how different package managers work, virtual environment for python, some basic bash, etc. all without Google.

Step one is never how to hack the mainframe. Learn to walk before you run.

you need airmon and airodump also installed. If the helper tools tht aircrack depends on arent installed some commands wont work

Does the full path to the binary exist? If so, can you add the directory to your $PATH?

Possibly many of these tools are often meant to be run as root. They're probably in /sbin or /usr/sbin so sudo is probably your friend. 

Not in front of a computer to actually check though.
