2.5. Installing the binaries under UNIX

In general, installing the binary under your version of UNIX will be specific to the installation meth-
ods used with your version of UNIX. For example, under AIX, you would use smit to install the
Ethereal binary package, while under Tru64 UNIX (formerly Digital UNIX) you would use setld.

2.5.1. Installing from rpm's under RedHat and alike

Use the following command to install the Ethereal RPM that you have downloaded from the Ethere-
al web site:

rpm -ivh ethereal-0.10.5-0.2.2.i386.rpm

If the above step fails because of missing dependencies, install the dependencies first, and then retry
the step above. See

Example 2.4, “ Installing required RPMs under RedHat Linux 6.2 and beyond ”

for information on what RPMs you will need to have installed.

2.5.2. Installing from deb's under Debian

Use the following command to install Ethereal under Debian:

apt-get install ethereal

apt-get should take care of all of the dependency issues for you.
