The sniffer does sniff but is unable to call Wireshark ("Capture to Wireshark" button is dim). I check the "Get info" and it says "Cannot find a file I can read at /usr/local/bin/tshark".

I manage to set up a pipe by clicking "Run Wireshark" in ble-sniffer-osx and set up the pipe in Wireshark's setting. The problem is that the pipe is randomized and it's not practical to use it this way.

    ok the error message says that it can't work out what version of wireshark you have because it can't run /usr/local/bin/tshark to get the version information.

    What version of wireshark do you have installed? It requires 1.12.x or 1.10.x wireshark official install.

    what does

    which tshark
    

    return

    what does

    /usr/local/bin/tshark -v
    

    return

    see ticket #8 - it was a permission on /usr/local/bin issue
