## 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!***
