## 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!***
