I would like to use tshark from the command line. I have been using the Wireshark application on Mac OSX (10.15.3), but tshark in Terminal gave me the error:

command not found: tshark

I tried moving the tshark and tshark.dSYM files from the Package Contents of the application (Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/) to /usr/local/bin because of a comment I found online. Now I'm getting the error:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libwireshark.13.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/tshark
  Reason: image not found
zsh: abort      tshark

Seems like progress, but I'm not sure what other files need to be moved to where to be able to run tshark commands from Terminal?

You can solve the problem by using symbolic links.
Create a symbolic link for tshark in /usr/local/bin as such.

ln -s /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/tshark /usr/local/bin/tshark

Now if you run tshark -v you should see the current version of tshark installed
