Upgrading Aircrack-ng?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is there a simple minded, "sudo apt-get upgrade aircrack-ng" command I can 
issue at a terminal (I'm on Ubuntu 9.10) to move from aircrack-ng 1.0 to 
Aircrack-ng 1.1? Should I wait until the repositories have the latest version? 

To install software by hand I would have to have a tutorial specific for Ubuntu 
9.10. I don't know enough about Linux to modify a tutorial written for a 
different flavor of Linux.

Please read the text below the title of this project.

It says "mass wep/wpa cracker *FOR BACKTRACK4".  It does not say "...for Ubuntu 
9.10"

If you don't know how to install a program on a Linux system without apt-get, 
then please don't post this as a new "bug".  Issues are for bugs in my 
software, not for your ability to install software.

I linked you to the aircrack-ng installation guide.  Have you tried it?

http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=install_aircrack

In that guide, they give a "simple minded command" you "can issue at the 
terminal":

wget http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz
cd aircrack-ng-1.1
sudo make
sudo make install

Just copy and paste this into terminal and aircrack-ng1.1 will be installed.  
This is how you install software on linux. Let me walk you through the steps.

First, we use "wget" to download the latest aircrack-ng tarball.
wget grabs files from the internet and saves them onto your harddrive.
type "wget --help" for more info on wget.

Before I go on, a "tarball" is just like a "zip" file, containing other files.  
Tarballs are commonly used for compressed packages for Linux machines.

Second, we extract the tarball using the 'tar' command.  This command takes the 
contents of the aircrack-ng tarball and stores them in the directory 
"aircrack-ng-1.1".  Type "man tar" for more info.

Third, we navigate to this newly-created folder using "cd", which stands for 
"Change Directory".  Type "man cd" for more info.

Before I continue, "sudo" is a command that tells Linux you want to do 
something as the 'superuser' (su), or "root".  When installing software, and 
doing other administrative tasks, you need to be logged in as root.  "sudo" 
lets you issue single commands as root without having to log out/back in over 
and over.   You may get prompted for a password when using "sudo".

Fourth, we "sudo make", which compiles the aircrack-ng software specifically 
for your system.  "man make" for more info.

Fifth, if we didn't get any errors during "sudo make", we "sudo make install", 
which installs the compiled software onto your system.  This is included in the 
"man make" manpage.

And that's it.  To confirm that aircrack-ng v1.1 was installed correctly, you 
need to type:

aircrack-ng --help

At the top of this print out will be something along the lines of
Aircrack-ng 1.1 r####

If it still says 1.0, then you can go to the aircrack-ng forums and ask for 
more help.

The link to the aircrack-ng forums is here: 

http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php

If aircrack-ng was installed correctly, you can delete the "aircrack-ng-1.1" 
folder; you won't need it because it has already been installed on your system.

If you are STILL confused on how to install aircrack-ng, watch this video which 
walks you through the entire process:

I found this video after searching Google for "install aircrack ubuntu 9.10"
