I need to install TShark and Dumpcap to be able to use pyshark for a project I am working on. Currently this is the error that I am getting:

pyshark.tshark.tshark.TSharkNotFoundException: TShark not found. Try adding its location to the configuration file. Searched these paths: ['C:\Program Files\Wireshark\dumpcap.exe', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/dumpcap', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/dumpcap', '/usr/local/bin/dumpcap', '/usr/bin/dumpcap', '/bin/dumpcap', '/usr/sbin/dumpcap', '/sbin/dumpcap', '/opt/X11/bin/dumpcap']

I have tried installing tshark via using brew but cant get it with the wireshark package because that requires the --with-qt option which is no longer supported.

I have found dumpcap and tshark executables that come with the desktop version of wireshark but i'm not sure of a good way of linking them in my system without breaking everything. The executables I have found are at /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/

Any help is greatly appreciated

  • I just had a similar issue. Are you trying to access TShark from a virtual environment? – Life is complex Feb 07 '20 at 05:30
