Description

==> Pouring aircrack-ng-1.1_2.el_capitan.bottle.tar.gz ==> Caveats Run airodump-ng-oui-update install or update the Airodump-ng OUI file. ==> Summary 🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/aircrack-ng/1.1_2: 34 files, 952.8K bfg: Java 1.7+ is required to install this formula. You can install with Homebrew Cask: brew install Caskroom/cask/java

You can download from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

As far as I am aware none of the prior scripts in the instructions take care of installing Java, should either include this or list it as a prereq in docs.

It seems when the brew gets to the iterm2 section it will install the latest java by default as well.

Research direction
The issue describes that Java 1.7+ is required for aircrack ng installation via Homebrew but is not included in the setup scripts. To resolve, add a prerequisite note in the documentation (e.g., README) or modify the installation script to install Java if not present. Consider the comment that iTerm2 may install Java, but explicitly listing Java as a prerequisite would be clearer. No linked PRs or maintainer questions.
