To install EtherApe in Ubuntu, run the following command in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install etherape
Please note that on my tests, for the application to run properly, you must run it as root (Applications > Internet > EtherApe (as root)).For other Linux distributions, Mac OSX, BSD and Solaris, see EtherApe DOWNLOAD page.
