## User manual
Do you want to **learn more**?
Check out the [**Sniffnet Wiki**](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/wiki), a comprehensive manual to help you
thoroughly master the application from a basic setup to the most advanced functionalities.
The Wiki includes step-by-step guides, tips, examples of usage, and answers to frequent questions.
## Troubleshooting
See details
### Missing dependencies
Most of the errors that may arise are likely due to your system missing dependencies
required to correctly analyze a network adapter.
Check the [required dependencies page](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/wiki/Required-dependencies)
for instructions on how to proceed depending on your operating system.
### Rendering problems
In some circumstances, especially if you are running on an old architecture or your graphical drivers are not updated,
the `wgpu` default renderer used by [iced](https://github.com/iced-rs/iced)
may manifest bugs (the interface glitches, color gradients are unsupported, or some icons are completely black).
In these cases you can set an environment variable to switch to the `tiny-skia` renderer,
a CPU-only software renderer that should work properly on every environment:
```sh
ICED_BACKEND=tiny-skia
```
### ***In any case, don't hesitate to [open an issue](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet/issues/new/choose), and I will do my best to help you!***
