Connect to WPA2 Personal with hidden SSID using command line on Linux

This command will add your network parameters to the configuration file of wpa_supplicant

sudo -s
wpa_passphrase YOUR_SSID YOUR_PASSWORD >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

If the SSID of the network is hidden additional step need to be done:

sudo vim /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Update what you just added scan_ssid=1 in your network parameters, such as from

network={
	ssid="YOUR_SSID"
	#psk="YOUR_PASSWORD"
	psk=YOUR_PREKEY
}

to

network={
	ssid="YOUR_SSID"
	scan_ssid=1
	#psk="YOUR_PASSWORD"
	psk=YOUR_PREKEY
}
