I want to install the package from the following URL:

https://github.com/VegetableAvenger/ARPSpoofing.git

I have executed the command git clone https://github.com/VegetableAvenger/ARPSpoofing.git and have changed to the directory using cd command.

Please, how do I install it?

  • This would seem to be a better question for the git project it's self but at the same time, it looks like the project is old and no longer active there. maybe check for other forks that may be more up to date. Commented Jan 26, 2018 at 19:28

To compile the source code you cloned, issue make in the project directory. To "install", you would copy the resulting executable ARP_Spoofing to any directory in your $PATH; or just leave it where it is and execute it from that directory as ./ARP_Spoofing.

Ideally you would read the C++ source prior to running the resultant executable.

  • i got ARP_Spoofing Error when i tried ./ARP_Spoofing Commented Jan 26, 2018 at 22:13
  • Because you didn't include any of the mandatory arguments. See the one-line shell script in the repository for an example of how to use ARP_Spoofing. Commented Jan 26, 2018 at 22:32
  • you are right @user4556274 i didn't include the mandatory arguments. Thanks for the answer. Commented Jan 26, 2018 at 22:43

In general, if you are cloning a git repository, then it is most likely that you are downloading source code, which you will need to compile before you can install and use it. For many packages, this will mean running the following commands:

./configure
make
make install

It is recommended to run the first two commands as an unprivileged user and the last one as the superuser (root).

There are also some useful guides on the web for compiling software, such as this one.

However, that package you link to looks very simple and it doesn't seem to follow those general instructions above. It looks like just running ./ARP_Spoofing (possibly with one of the listed options) from the source or installation folder should work. There is also a simple makefile in there, so if you wanted to re-compile it, it looks like you can just run:

make clean
make

  • ./configure gave the error zsh: no such file or directory: ./configure and make install gave the error make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop. Commented Jan 26, 2018 at 22:17
  • If you re-read my answer, those are general instructions that work for most packages. However, I mentioned in the last paragraph that that particular package is too simple, and gave the instructions that should work for yours. Commented Jan 26, 2018 at 23:47

    Sorry if that confused you. The package you have doesn't use the Autoconf/Automake system, which is why the general instructions don't work. Commented Jan 26, 2018 at 23:49
