Installing wireshark/tshark on Linux Debian

Hi, I'm trying to install a specific version on Debian (12). When installing via apt-get install, the latest version is 4.0.11. However, I really need newer wireshark version (>= 4.2.2). How can I install it if it's not available there? I tried downloading and extracting the archive from https://www.wireshark.org/download/sr..., but I don't know how to proceed with that.

A core developer does provide up to date builds for Debian and Ubuntu but I don't know any more than that.

For Ubuntu see here.

Heading a long way out of my comfort zone, I think you add the PPA to your apt sources, apt update and then the newer version should be available.

I think you can use add-apt-repository or similar.

The usual way for source code applies I guess:

  1. Extract
  2. ./configure
  3. make
  4. sudo make install
