Getting started

Two short pages to get you from nothing to a packet on the wire.

  • Installation

    Build from source with CMake (recommended) or autotools, or install from your OS package manager. Includes the optional fast-path backends.

  • Quickstart

    Replay a shipped sample capture, watch the statistics, then rewrite and replay it — the whole loop in about five minutes.

Just want the commands?

If you already have a build, jump straight to the Quickstart. If you want the exhaustive option list for any tool, the man pages are the authority; these guides focus on how to use the tools.
