SnapCraft

Thanks to mharjac

Termshark can be easily installed on almost all major distros just by issuing:

snap install termshark

Note there is a big caveat with Snap and the architecture of Wireshark that prevents termshark being able to read network interfaces. If installed via Snap, termshark will only be able to work with pcap files. See this explanation.

Termux (Android)

pkg install root-repo
pkg install termshark

Note that termshark does not require a rooted phone to inspect a pcap, but it does depend on tshark which is itself in Termux's root-repo for programs that do work best on a rooted phone.

If you would like to use termshark's copy-mode to copy sections of packets to your Android clipboard, you will also need Termux:API. Install from the Play Store, then from termux, type:

pkg install termux-api


Ubuntu

If you are running Ubuntu 19.10 (eoan) or higher, termshark can be installed like this:

sudo apt install termshark

For Ubuntu < 19.10, you can use the PPA nicolais/termshark to install termshark:

sudo add-apt-repository --update ppa:nicolais/termshark
sudo apt install termshark
