Installing Wireshark on FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD/DragonFly BSD

2. Running Wireshark as a non-root user
For general installation instructions, see the INSTALL file, along with
the Developer's Guide located at https://www.wireshark.org/docs/ and
in the docbook/ directory. Additional BSD specific notes and requirements
follow.
1. Extra packages required
---------------------------
Wireshark requires a number of additional programs to function.
Install the latest versions of the following programs before compiling:
The easiest way to install these is by using your operating system's
ports or packages system. If you prefer to build from source, the programs
can be found at the following sites:
glib 2.32 or later:
ftp.gnome.org:/pub/gnome/sources/glib/
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/
pkgconfig:
http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/
python 3.4 or later:
https://www.python.org/downloads/source/
If you want to use the Wireshark GUI, install one or both of these toolkits:
Qt 5.3 or later:
http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/
(These programs may require additional dependencies)
Additional programs can be used to enhance Wireshark's functionality.
These can be found by typing ./configure --help or looking at the output
at the end of running the configure script.
2. Compiling Wireshark
-----------------------
To compile Wireshark with the default options, run configure, make and
make install (you may have to run "autogen.sh" first):
./configure
make
make install
The configure and make steps can be run as a non-root user and you can
run Wireshark from the compilation directory itself. You must run make
install as root in order to copy the program to the proper directories.
3. Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) requirement
