Question

Hello i am using MAC Mavericks system.i have installed wireshark .dmg and x11 .dmg(xquartz) .But when i try to open wireshark in Xterm ,using the command

bash-3.2$ open/Applications/Wireshark.app/

i get the following error message.

bash: open/Applications/Wireshark.app/: No such file or directory.

Actually i can see a blue icon called wireshark in my applications folder,but i get the above error message instead of the wireshark program. Am i missing something?Please give some suggestions on installation of Wireshark on MAC Mavericks?

I am a newbie in wireshark.please help me .

Was it helpful?

Solution

As Dagg Nabbit said, place a space after open; the command to open a file from the command line is

open {file}

so, to open /Applications/Wireshark.app, do

open /Applications/Wireshark.app
