In general, installing the binary under your version of UNIX will be specific to the installation meth-
ods used with your version of UNIX. For example, under AIX, you would use smit to install the
Ethereal binary package, while under Tru64 UNIX (formerly Digital UNIX) you would use setld.

Use the following command to install the Ethereal RPM that you have downloaded from the Ethere-
