Install inSSIDer 2 in ubuntu
Download deb packages from here
Once you have deb packages you can install by double clicking on it or run the following command from your terminal
sudo dpkg -i inssider_0.1.0.0111_i386.deb
If it’s open source, why can’t I find sources?

Awesome, thanks!
I was unable to install, keep getting some dependency error. Wish I could of gotten application to install.
I believe problem I had was using ubuntu 10.04 vice 10.10. I found another install procedure for 10.04 at this site. https://github.com/metageek-llc/inSSIDer-2-Cross-Platform/wiki/Installations-instructions-for-Ubuntu-10.04-Lucid-Lynx/815b0968f27140e27f882f23d64712c57bb7fc22
@ Pit
thanks for this, just what I needed!
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
you can use now :
