+# Installing the Ettus Wireshark dissectors
+
+
+1. Make sure you have the Wireshark 'dev' files available. On some
+ distributions, this requires a separate package (e.g. on Ubuntu,
+ you will need to install the wireshark-dev package)
+2. Run these commands inside this directory:
+
+ $ mkdir build
+ $ cd build
+ $ cmake ..
+ $ make && make install
+
+ This will build and install the CHDR dissector.
+
+3. To build and install the other dissectors, re-run the commands
+ like so:
+
+ $ cmake .. -DETTUS_DISSECTOR_NAME=zpu
+ $ make && make install
+
+ Replace "zpu" with the name of the dissector you wish to install
+ (e.g. "octoclock").
+
