Answer 2

As mentioned in the answer by BillGates, Aircrack-ng 1.1 is in the repos.

To install 1.2-beta3, you need to download the source:

wget http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-1.2-beta3.tar.gz

Extract it:

tar xzf aircrack-ng-1.2-beta3.tar.gz

Change into the directory:

cd aircrack-ng-1.2-beta3

Make sure you have the build-essentials package installed to be able to compile programs. Then start compiling:

make

You might encounter some missing libraries along the way, for example you might see something like this:

common.mak:85: *** Cannot find development files for any supported version of libnl. install either libnl1 or libnl3..  Stop.

To solve these errors, install all missing development libraries, for example, libnl-3-dev for this one.

When it's done, you can run Aircrack from this directory or install it system-wide:

sudo make install

Answer 3

I formatted my computer and obviously I had to reinstall all programs. When installed aircrack-ng again, I realized that there are more dependencies to install, some are suggestions and others are installed by default.

sudo su

enter your password, then install all dependencies, Here the list

apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev
dpkg-dev g++ g++-4.8 libc-dev-bin libc6-dev libstdc++-4.8-dev zlib1g-dev
debian-keyring g++-multilib g++-4.8-multilib gcc-4.8-doc libstdc++6-4.8-dbg
glibc-doc libstdc++-4.8-doc libalgorithm-merge-perl libssl-doc 
libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl

after that, update your system

apt-get update

when this install is done you can start the aircrack install, like this

wget http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-1.2-rc4.tar.gz
tar -zxvf aircrack-ng-1.2-rc4.tar.gz
cd aircrack-ng-1.2-rc4
make
make install    

and you will get aircrack-ng up and running. Now the success is guaranteed
