Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Wireshark Error

I am fully new to all this, but I instlaled Wireshark today (full install) and I already have X11 installed. I am trying to run ANYTHING in wireshark and I get this error

(wireshark:550): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Though the number changes depending on what I try and run. I can get wireshark -h to work, but that is it, and it is not very helpful to me. I am just trying to find something so I can find out what is happening on the network, so I can start learning to find out where bottlenecks are happening so I can figure out a solution.

Thanks
