Help! I can't run John.

If you're not familiar with your OS, you should probably not be usingJohn in the first place since John is primarily a tool for systemadministrators. This is starting to change with the 'communityenhanced' -jumbo versions' support for things such as password-protectedarchives, though.

Here are the answers to a few (not very) common questions to avoidhaving them asked over and over and for amusement. For more seriousmatters, please skip over to the next section.

Q: When I type 'john' (or 'john passwd', etc.), it says 'command notfound' (or equivalent)?!
A: The examples given in John the Ripper documentation assume that youknow how to invoke newly-built programs from your shell. On Unix-likesystems, it is typical to not have '.' (the current directory) in your$PATH (the list of directories to search for programs). In that case,you need to type './john' (dot, slash, and 'john', without the quotes)to invoke the John binary executable located in the current directory.

Q: ..but I am on a Unix-like system and I don't seem to readily have aJohn binary executable.
A: Please follow the instructions in INSTALL.

Q: When I double-click on 'john.exe', a window flashes and disappears?!
A: You're not supposed to click. You're supposed to run John from acommand-line shell. On Windows, some of those shells would be cmd.exe,command.com, or bash (the latter is available with Cygwin).
