GISKismet Installation

GISKismet is written in Perl and requires the following Perl modules:

  • XML::LibXML
  • DBI
  • DBD::SQLite

To install a module using cpan simply run:

$ sudo cpan

   # make sure you have the latest version of CPAN installed
   cpan>  install CPAN
   cpan>  install Bundle::CPAN
   # then when you see the cpan> prompt type install and the name of
   # the module
   cpan>  install XML::LibXML

   cpan>  install DBI

If you are using Ubuntu you can use the package manager to install the module.

 sudo apt-get install libxml-libxml-perl libdbi-perl libdbd-sqlite3-perl

Once all of the dependencies are installed you can install GISKismet using the following commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
** Then as root **
sudo make install
