+HICN Plugin for Wireshark
+===================
+
+The `packethicn` plugin adds support to Wireshark to parse and dissect HICN traffic.
+
+`packethicn` can be compiled and installed in two ways:
+
+1. Alongside HICN, from the HICN root dir (see [Build with HICN](#Build-with-HICN))
+
+2. As a standalone component (see [Standalone build](#Standalone-build))
+
+The second one is preferred if `HICN` is already installed in the system.
+
+# Build with HICN
+
+## Dependencies
+
+```bash
+$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wireshark-dev/stable
+
+$ sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake wireshark wireshark-dev libgcrypt-dev libgnutls28-dev
+
+```
+
+## Build and install
+
+From the root HICN dir add the `-DBUILD_WSPLUGIN` flag to cmake.
+
+```bash
+$ cd hicn
+
+$ mkdir build; cd build
+
+$ cmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl\@1.1 -DBUILD_APPS=ON -DBUILD_WSPLUGIN=ON ..
+
+$ make -j`nproc`
+
+$ sudo make install
+
+```
+
+# Standalone build
+## Linux (Ubuntu)
+
+### Install dependencies
+```bash
+$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wireshark-dev/stable
+
+$ curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/fdio/release/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
+
+$ sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake libhicn-dev wireshark wireshark-dev libgcrypt-dev libgnutls28-dev
+
+```
+### Compile and install HICN plugin
+```bash
+$ cd packethicn
+
+$ mkdir build; cd build
+
+$ cmake ..
+
+$ make
+
+$ sudo make install
+```
+
+
+## macOS
+If installing wireshark via brew use the `./install_macos.sh` script as shown below:
+
+```bash
+$ brew tap icn-team/hicn-tap
+
+$ brew install hicn
+
+$ brew install wireshark
+
+$ brew install cask wireshark
+
+$ cd packethicn
+
+$ ./install_macos.sh
+```
+
+Otherwise (if wireshark was compiled from sources) you can follow the setup for Linux:
+
+```bash
+$ cd packethicn
+
+$ mkdir build; cd build
+
+$ cmake ..
+
+$ make
+
+$ sudo make install
+```
