Note
Remember to also install the required dependencies for your operating system.
Alternative installation methods are reported in the following:
from Crates.io
Follow this method only if you have Rust installed on your machine.
In this case, the application binary can be built and installed with:
cargo install sniffnetfrom Nixpkgs
You can install Sniffnet Nix package adding the following Nix code to your NixOS Configuration, usually located in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:
environment.systemPackages = [
pkgs.sniffnet
];Alternatively, you can install it in your home using Home Manager with:
home.packages = [
pkgs.sniffnet
];Alternatively, you can try it in a shell with:
nix-shell -p sniffneton FreeBSD
You can install Sniffnet port with:
pkg install sniffneton Tiny Core Linux
You can install Sniffnet from the official repository with:
tce-load -wi sniffnet

Most of the errors that may arise are likely due to your system missing dependencies
required to correctly analyze a network adapter.
Check the required dependencies page
for instructions on how to proceed depending on your operating system.
In some circumstances, especially if you are running on an old architecture or your graphical drivers are not updated,
the wgpu default renderer used by iced
may manifest bugs (the interface glitches, color gradients are unsupported, or some icons are completely black).
In these cases you can set an environment variable to switch to the tiny-skia renderer,
a CPU-only software renderer that should work properly on every environment:
ICED_BACKEND=tiny-skiaIn any case, don't hesitate to open an issue, and I will do my best to help you!

A big shout-out to all the contributors of Sniffnet!
-
The graphical user interface has been realized with iced, a cross-platform GUI library for Rust focused on simplicity and type-safety
- Last but not least, thanks to every single stargazer: all forms of support made it possible to keep improving Sniffnet!
