I installed Wireshark on my mac with the command

brew install wireshark

but after that, a message told me that I had to curl and install ChmodBPF, so I did that too.

But there is no command named Wireshark on terminal. What is wrong with that?

The homebrew package wireshark installs the command line util tshark. If you want to enable the GUI, then install wireshark like this:

brew install wireshark --with-qt

If you already have Wireshark installed, do

brew reinstall wireshark --with-qt
