Currently, hydra’s support on different platforms:To download, configure, compile and install hydra, just type into terminal:If you have Ubuntu/Debian you will need some dependency libraries:If you could not find those libraries in your repository, then you need to download and install them manually.Congratulation, now you have succeeded to install hydra on your system.
