I am trying to install wireshark with help from this youtube video

sudo apt-get install wireshark libcap2-bin

sudo groupadd wireshark

sudo usermod -a -G wireshark debbase

But I faced a problem when I ran the command sudo usermod -a -G wireshark debbase. It gives the error:

user 'debbase' does not exist

What should I do?

In this example, debbase is the provided username. Replace it with your username. This would be the one you entered when you installed and set up Ubuntu.

You can also find your username by entering a shell and typing:

whoami

What that command does is adds the user debbase to the group wireshark
