Sorry, I know this is kind of a dumb question, but I'm trying to download Wireshark on a VM running Ubuntu. I've not used Linux systems before but I know that I can't download the Windows installers, at least not without downloading other software to create a Windows environment which I don't want to do, and does that mean macOS is the correct one? Bit of a newbie and student, appreciate any help! I'm very much on the 'send help, I have no idea how anything works' stage lol.

Linux and macOS are different flavors of UN*X, so the macOS version isn't the right one.

The Windows version won't necessarily work under Wine (the "software to create a Windows environment" under Linux and other UN*Xes).

Linux distributions generally have Wireshark as a package to install, so we don't provide our own packages; presumably you used sudo to run apt-get or something such as that.
