Abstract
This chapter discusses the basic concepts of Wireshark installation, including the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) and source-code packages. The RPM is a powerful package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating Linux software packages. The chapter also describes complete installations of the libpcap and WinPcap libraries, as well as Wireshark for Windows, Mac OS X, UNIX-based systems and Windows systems. The Yellow dog Updater, Modified (YUM) method can be used for installing Wireshark in LInux. YUM is an open-source, command-line package management utility for RPM-compatible Linux systems. It is an automated method of installing, updating, and removing RPM packages. Installing Wireshark from the source code is very beneficial. It provides source code, additional documentation, and miscellaneous files along with ability to control numerous aspects of the build process. Wireshark can be built from sources on both the Windows and Unix/Linux. Wireshark on Mac OS X Can be installed with the help of darwinports. DarwinPorts automates the process of building third-party software for Mac OS X and other operating systems.
