    Before You Begin


    This release of Wireshark requires macOS 10.13 or later. If you are running an earlier version of
    macOS you can install using another packaging system such as Homebrew or MacPorts.

    Quick Setup
    To install Wireshark, drag the Wireshark application bundle to the Applications folder.

    In order to be able to capture packets, install the Install ChmodBPF package.

    If you would like to add the path to Wireshark (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/wireshark.html), TShark


    (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/tshark.html), capinfos (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/capinfos.html),
    editcap (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/editcap.html), and other command line utilities
    (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/) to the system PATH, install the Add Wireshark to the system path package.

    Package Installation Details


    The ChmodBPF installer writes to the following locations:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.wireshark.ChmodBPF.plist. A launch daemon that adjusts permissions on the


    system’s packet capture devices (/dev/bpf*) when the system starts up.

    /Library/Application Support/Wireshark/ChmodBPF. A copy of the launch daemon property list, and the script
    that the launch daemon runs.

    The installer group named “access_bpf” is created. The user who opened the package is added to the group.

    The system path installer writes to the following locations:

    /etc/paths.d/Wireshark. The folder name in this file is automatically added to PATH

    /etc/manpaths.d/Wireshark. The folder name in this file is used by the man command.

    It assumes that Wireshark is installed in /Applications.

    Uninstalling
    To uninstall Wireshark, do the following:

    1. Remove /Applications/Wireshark.app

    2. Remove /Library/Application Support/Wireshark

    You can uninstall ChmodBPF via the Uninstall ChmodBPF package, which is available on this disk or via Wireshark ›
    About Wireshark › Folders › macOS Extras. You can also uninstall it manually by doing the following:
