How to install suricata on windows?

Hi guys can you help me how to install the suricata? im new and i want to learn it thank you.

The first would probably be downloading the Windows 64-bit installer from Download - Suricata and running it.

i download and install it but after running the application there is a error says “the code execution cannot proceed bacause wpcap.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.” but i try to reinstall it too but still having this error

You’ll need to install npcap, the final screen of the installer should have mentioned it:


But yes, we need better documentation on this.

You can download the NPcap installer here: Npcap: Windows Packet Capture Library & Driver
