Installation

Make sure the version of Wireshark you have installed was compiled with Lua support (see wireshark.org/Lua).

If you're not interested in tracking development on the main branch, download the latest release from the GitHub Releases page and extract the archive somewhere temporarily (Windows users will likely want to download the zip archive).

Linux (per user)

cd $PACKET_SIMPLEMESSAGE
mkdir -p ~/.local/lib/wireshark/plugins
cp packet-simplemessage.lua ~/.local/lib/wireshark/plugins

Windows (per user)

Open %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming (Win7) or %USERPROFILE%\Application Data (WinXP) and open the Wireshark\plugins folder (if it doesn't exist, create it). Now copy packet-simplemessage.lua to the plugins folder.
