Installing tshark on RHEL

Question

Is there a way to install tshark on RHEL machines using yum install?

when i did: yum install tshark

I got back:

Setting up Install Process
No package tshark available.
Nothing to do

When i did: yum list tshark I got back:

 Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Error: No matching Packages to list

Are you certain `tshark` is available via the RHEL repositories? — sarnold, Nov 23 '11 at 04:39
Thats what im not sure of. Is there an alternate way of installing it? — Chander Shivdasani, Nov 23 '11 at 04:55
Today (14 May 2018) I installed Wireshark on RHEL Server 6.5 (Santiago) by running following: 1. rpm -ivh libsmi-0.4.8-4.el6.x86_64.rpm 2. rpm -ivh wireshark-1.8.10-25.el6.x86_64.rpm 3. rpm -ivh --replacefiles glib2-2.28.8-9.el6.x86_64.rpm 4. rpm -ivh --replacefiles gtk2-2.24.23-9.el6.x86_64.rpm 5. rpm -ivh wireshark-gnome-1.8.10-25.el6.x86_64.rpm — Anurag Singh, May 14 '18 at 09:27

The problem seems to be solved. To install tshark(CLI of wireshark) just do following:

sudo yum install wireshark

This will install tshark in /usr/sbin/tshark

To install wireshark with gui, do the following:

sudo yum install wireshark-gnome
