Aircrack-ng 1.1 is in the official Ubuntu Repository
Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+ T
Then copy and paste the following command in the terminal.
Then press Enter.
sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng
Edit :
To resolve your problem, run a update before installation.
sudo apt-get update

That's one of the many commands that I tried looks like aircrack is no longer in the universal reposotories. Jul 11, 2014 at 18:16

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

4Seems somme libraries are needed, in my case : sudo apt-get install libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev libssl-dev Sep 15, 2014 at 15:47
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
To install Aircrack-ng 1.2 rc3-4 from the official Ubuntu Repository,
you have to install the source of wily, xenial, or yakkety
to check the current source list:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
to add xenial source list:
cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list
in the new line copy and past the following line
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main restricted universe multiverse
then press on ctrl+J and ctrl+D, for new line and to finish editting
then update the repository
sudo apt-get update
then install aircreack-ng 1.2 rc3-4
apt-get install aircrack-ng

1This a very bad way to add
xenial
repo. It is harmful if done on another ubuntu version. It is also harmful on Xenial.– Pilot6Aug 13, 2016 at 14:20 -
