+### Missing dependencies
-### Pcap permission denied error
+Most of the errors that can occur are likely due to your system missing required pcap dependencies,
+necessary to correctly analyze a network adapter.
-You may incur in this error if you have not the privilege to open a network adapter. Full error is reported below.
+Check the [Install & Run](#Install-&-Run) section for instructions on how to proceed.
-
+For a Windows reference, you can check [issue #1](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/issues/1).
-To solve this error you can execute the following command:
-```sudo chown username /dev/bp*```
+### Installers incompatibilities
-Where ```username``` can be retrieved with the command ```whoami```
+If you have problems after having installed Sniffnet through the provided installers,
+it could be due to your OS not being compatible with the pre-built binaries I generated for you.
-Alternatively, you can run the application as root: ```sudo sniffnet [OPTIONS]```
-
-In both cases you will be requested to insert your system password.
-
-
-### Textual report contains just the header
-
-If the textual output is not reporting packets statistics, make sure you are sniffing the correct network adapter (use the ```-d```
-option to see the full list of your network adapters' names and addresses).
-To inspect a network adapter of your choice, remember to specify the ```-a``` option followed by the name of the adapter to be analyzed.
-If you don't include such option a default adapter is chosen by the application, but it may not be the one you expected to sniff.
-
-Note that to see report updates while Sniffnet is running you may have to close and re-open the report file.
-
-If you are still not able to see any packet statistic, then it probably means that you are just not receiving packets from the network:
-surf the web to receive some packets.
+Reach me out, and I'll try to generate an installer for your specific operating system.
