In case all your packages are up to date, then skip the upgrading process and directly go to the installation of Wireshark that we will carry out using apt, a command-line utility software used for installing, removing, updating, upgrading, and otherwise managing deb packages on Debian, Ubuntu, and look-alike Linux distros as shown below: sudo apt install wireshark -y install Wireshark Here you will type “y/Y” or press “Enter,” and the process will continue. Note: Upon running the command, you will be asked to affirm your decision to proceed with the installation. If there are, like in our case, 32 packages, then run the following command to upgrade the “32 packages”: sudo apt upgrade upgrade system Still, as usual, we will kick off by updating our Debian 11 packets version information using the following command: sudo apt update update systemĪfter that, the terminal will notify you of the number of packages that require an upgrade. We will run the following commands on our Debian 11 machine to install Wireshark. In case you don’t have Debian installed on your machine, we suggest you can take a look at our other article on How to install Debian 11 before proceeding with the article. Having looked at that vital piece of info, let us now turn our focus and look at the core part of the article that explains how to install Wireshark on Debian 11, and also look at how to get started with this packet analyzer that has proven to be useful for several functionalities including sniffing, network problems troubleshooting and a lot more.
Nevertheless, the dawn of Wireshark has enormously changed to the point that it is now available for free, open-source, and it has proven to be one of the best packet analyzers available in the market today. Sometime back, Wireshark and look-alike tools were either expensive, proprietary, or both.
