Wireshark is a popular network protocol analyzer that can be used to monitor and analyze network traffic. In this guide, we will show you how to install Wireshark on CentOS 6.3.<\/p>\n
The first step is to add the Wireshark repository to your CentOS system. Run the following command in your terminal:<\/p>\n
sudo rpm -ivh https:\/\/dl.fedoraproject.org\/pub\/epel\/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm<\/pre>\nThis command will add the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository, which contains the Wireshark package.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Install Wireshark<\/h2>\n
Next, you need to install the Wireshark package. Run the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo yum install wireshark<\/pre>\nThis command will install Wireshark and any dependencies that are required.<\/p>\n

By default, Wireshark can only be run by the root user. To allow non-root users to run Wireshark, you need to add them to the wireshark group. Run the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo usermod -a -G wireshark USERNAME<\/pre>\nReplace USERNAME with the username of the user you want to add to the wireshark group.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Run Wireshark<\/h2>\n
Now that Wireshark is installed, you can run it by typing the following command in your terminal:<\/p>\n
wireshark<\/pre>\nIf you are running Wireshark as a non-root user, you may need to run it with elevated privileges by using the following command:<\/p>\n
gksu wireshark<\/pre>\nThis command will prompt you for your password and then launch Wireshark with root privileges.<\/p>\n
