How do I install Wireshark in Red Hat Linux?

At the Wireshark download page, am I supposed to download "Standard package" for Red Hat under "Third-Party Package"? Does the Red Hat version have a GUI?


You can use the yum command to install wireshark on RHEL

yum install wireshark

and

yum install wireshark-gnome

This is probably the best way to install the products as it will install the relevant dependencies at the same time.


You could download the Sourcecode from http://wiresharkdownloads.riverbed.com/wireshark/src/wireshark-1.8.0.tar.bz2. Then you unzip the sourcecode

bunzip2 wireshark-1.8.0.tar.bz2

Then untar the file

tar -xvf wireshark-1.8.0

Then change directory into the wireshark-directory and do the usual steps for installing from source:

./configure
make
make install

or you can use the yum-way described in the comment above. Actually that might work better because there might be dependencies.
