    If it’s open source, why can’t I find sources?

    Certainly not ready for prime time. I installed the pre-requisites listed at https://github.com/metageek-llc/inSSIDer-2-Cross-Platform/wiki/Installation-instructions-+-Troubleshooting-+-FAQ-for-inSSIDer-Beta-0.1.1.0429
    Installed OK but did not run. The first FAQ solution (run from terminal, go through messages) is not practical at all. I see pages of messages and don’t have time/knowledge to decipher them. And no, I’m not a noobie – I run approximately 30 servers, etc.

    This had lots of promise but is short on delivery.

    @yakup the pre-requisites listed there are for the 0.1.1.0429 but this is the 0.1.0.0111.
    I am having trouble with installing and running this too have been looking around for the last hour or so..I am running lubuntu 12.04-just put it on a very very old laptop in order to get it back in use.
    I tried installing both above versions-along with pre-requisites-but even though everything installs fine it doesn’t start-up…
    Any help would be greatly appreciated folks!

    Cheers
