Install the newest wireshark to Centos 7

you can download the old version of wireshark by

yum install wireshark

In order to install the newer version, we will do the following:

  1. Install required for compilers and so on.
sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ bison flex libpcap-devel qt-devel gtk3-devel rpm-build libtool c-ares-devel qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qtmultimedia-devel qt5-linguist desktop-file-utils

    Wireshark
  • select source code for Linux Opereting System

  1. Extract the package

  2. Execute configure file

cd wireshark-2.4.6

  • if you get some warnings, like below, then you might get your hands dirty.
lz4-devel is needed by wireshark-2.4.6-1.x86_64  
snappy-devel is needed by wireshark-2.4.6-1.x86_64  
libnghttp2-devel is needed by wireshark-2.4.6-1.x86_64

sudo yum install libgcrypt libgcrypt-devel gcc-c++
sudo yum install snappy-devel
sudo yum install libnghttp2-devel
  1. Generate RPM package
make rpm-package
  • in my case, some liberaries are not installed, so install them with the following command:
sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install lz4
sudo yum install lz4-devel
sudo yum install snappy-devel
  • if you get the following message, then you can successfully generate RPM package.
Package successfully built in /home/kaya/Applications/wireshark-2.4.6/packaging/rpm/RPMS.
  1. Check the package
cd ./packaging/rpm/RPMS/x86_64
ls

  • we will let others read and execute
