Install
If you use a Windows machine, you’ll probably want to download and install the 64-bit version. Be sure to also install the other items that are packaged with Wireshark; it needs them in order to work.
If you’re on a Mac, you’ll probably want to use the Intel version. Please also install CHmodBPF.pkg (when you click on the download link, it will be packaged in the same folder as the Wireshark application.)
