## 3.2. Start Wireshark

You can start Wireshark from your shell or window manager.

| Tip!
When starting Wireshark it's possible to specify optional settings using the command line. See Section 9.2, “Start Wireshark from the command line” for details.

| Note!
In the following chapters, a lot of screenshots from Wireshark will be shown. As Wireshark runs on many different platforms and there are different versions of the underlying GUI toolkit (GTK 1.x / 2.x) used, your screen might look different from the provided screenshots. But as there are no real differences in functionality, these screenshots should still be well understandable.
