There is one really good command in Linux/UNIX called man :-)

man tcpdump

.....
Under Linux:
              You  must  be  root or tcpdump must be installed setuid to root
              (unless your distribution has a kernel that supports capability
              bits  such  as  CAP_NET_RAW  and code to allow those capability
              bits to be given to particular accounts and to cause those bits
              to  be  set  on a user\u2019s initial processes when
they log in, in
              which case you  must have CAP_NET_RAW in order to  capture  and
              CAP_NET_ADMIN  to  enumerate network devices with, for example,
              the -D flag).
