<h4>Steps:&nbsp;</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>First Step:&nbsp;Download and uncompress the Aircrack-ng file. Personally, I prefer to move the .rar file to the desktop to have a more clear working area. If your web browser does not ask you where to save the file, then just go to your "Downloads" section of your file explorer.</p>

<p>Second Step:&nbsp;Determine if your Windows architecture is 64-bit or 32-bit.</p>

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You should get something like this:</p>

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Third Step:&nbsp;Go to your 'Local Disk (C:) and open the folder "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" depending on your windows architecture. Since my Windows is 64-bit I will choose the 'Program Files' folder.</p>

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Then, copy and paste the Aircrack-ng folder that you uncompressed before inside the "Program Files" folder.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Aircrack-ng folder should look like this inside the "Program Files" folder.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After pasting the "Aircrack-ng" folder inside the "Program files" or "Program Files (x86)" you have to go inside of that folder.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Once inside the folder you will have to open the "bin" folder.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Depending on your Windows architecture you will choose the folder according to your Windows. In my case I chose the "64-bit" folder since my Windows architecture is 64-bit.</p>

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Once inside your corresponding folder, you will have to copy the address of that folder as it is shown below:</p>
