How to install Wireshark
I am new to Linux and have a need to install Wireshark 2.0.0 on VirtualBox's Xubuntu 14.04.
I have already downloaded .tar.gz package and extracted it. Then I opened terminal in the wireshark folder and type /.configure with intention to follow it by make and sudo make install executions but the attempt as unsuccessful as sudo apt-get install wireshark.
Could somebody help me how to install Wireshark step by step, please?

dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Step 1: Add the stable official PPA. To do this, go to terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and run:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wireshark-dev/stable
Step 2: Update the repository:
sudo apt-get update
Step 3: Install wireshark 2.0:
sudo apt-get install wireshark
Step 4: Run wireshark:
sudo wireshark
If you get a error couldn't run /usr/bin/dumpcap in child process: Permission Denied. go to the terminal again and run:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common
Say YES to the message box. This adds a wireshark group. Then add user to the group by typing
sudo adduser $USER wireshark
Then restart your machine and open wireshark. It works. Good Luck.

Open terminal and type the commands:
sudo apt-get install wireshark
sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common
sudo adduser $USER wireshark
wireshark
if you getting wireshark running error, so close it and then just do the following
Go to usr/share/wireshark
Open init.lua with a text editor
Change disable_lua = false to disable_lua = true

Apt should take care of all of the dependency issues for you.
Use the following command to install downloaded Wireshark debs:
dpkg -i wireshark-common_2.0.5.0-1_i386.deb wireshark_wireshark-2.0.5.0-1_i386.deb
dpkg doesn’t take care of all dependencies, but reports what’s missing. You can usually resolve problems by then running
sudo apt install -f

To add to Thusitha's answer, in Step 4 you either run as sudo or if you do not want to run all processes as root, then you set the message box to 'YES' (to install dumpcap in such a way that it allows users of the wireshark group to run it without sudo) and add user to wireshark group. (be sure to log out and log in before running wireshark so that the group privileges are reloaded). You can then just run wireshark without root.

To add to Thusitha's answer, in Step 4 you either run as sudo or if you do not want to run all processes as root, then you set the message box to 'YES' (to install dumpcap in such a way that it allows users of the wireshark group to run it without sudo) and add user to wireshark group. (be sure to log out and log in before running wireshark so that the group privileges are reloaded). You can then just run wireshark without root.

dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
