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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add Java as a prerequisite in the documentation for the brew.sh script, specifically noting that Java 1.7+ is required for some formulas like bfg.
