I have 16.04 LTS loaded. The distribution came with Wireshark ver 2.2.6. Wireshark now has available version 2.4.5. I downloaded the executable, but don't know how to upgrade my system to the new version. I tried removing and installing, but Ubuntu just loads 2.2.6 again. I am relatively new to Linux. How is this done? Thanks in advance.
