Vendor-supplied Packages
Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages. You
can usually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package management
system specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be
found on the [3]download page on the Wireshark web site.

File Locations
Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for preference

vary from platform to platform. You can use About->Folders to find the
default locations on your system.
