How do I install tshark?

Installation BuddyWeb CloudShark

CDRouter 6.3 and newer releases include advanced features for viewing CDRouter generated capture files and individual packets within your browser. These features utilize the CloudShark engine developed by QA Cafe for CloudShark.org.

These new features require the applications tshark and capinfos which can be installed on newer Ubuntu systems with the following command: 

# sudo apt-get install tshark wireshark
# /etc/init.d/buddyweb restart

Capinfos is normally installed when the wireshark package is installed.

If you are unable to install tshark and capinfos on your Linux distribution, we recommend that you download and compile Wireshark and then install tshark and capinfos as /usr/bin/tshark and /usr/bin/capinfos.

If you are unable to download and compile Wireshark, we have statically linked executables available for 32 and 64 bit x86 systems. Download either the 64 or 32 bit version of the executables below and install as /usr/bin/tshark and /usr/bin/capinfos. 

% sudo su
# mv tshark_x86_64.bin /usr/bin/tshark
# mv capinfos_x86_64.bin /usr/bin/capinfos
# chmod 755 /usr/bin/tshark /usr/bin/capinfos
# /etc/init.d/buddyweb restart

NOTE: After installing tshark, you must restart buddyweb or reboot your system.
