To install all versions of packettracer except 7.2.2, follow this guidelines: 1. Download the snapshot from this AUR. 2. Tar -zxf the packettracer.tar.gz snapshot (it creates the dir packettracer/ with the PKGBUILD on it). 3. Download the latest packettracer tarball from your Netacad account and copy it into the packettracer/ dir. 4. Create the package with the command makepkg (it creates a packettracer.pkg.tar.xz). 5. Install the package with either makepkg -i or sudo pacman -U packettracer.pkg.tar.xz.

Packettracer 7.2.2 are auto installable via run file, download it from netacad webpage and run it, you don't need this package.

Thanks to runnytu, I downloaded 7.2.2 after spending all afternoon struggling with 7.3 (manually trying to extract and locate files and folders, update libraries and download debian utilities, finally coming here.) I guess everyone learns to check comments here before doing all of that/ TIL...

@runnytu

I got it! Thanks, had to put the .deb file not the tarball in the packettracer folder, sorry I'm still new to this!

Then pacman -U the created tarball! It works! ^~^

@Volteos, You should follow the instructions of the pinned comment.

Getting error on my AUR helper, date is 3-08-2020,

ERROR: PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.

I don't know how to fix this.

runnytu commented on 2020-02-26 18:48 (UTC)

@riazufila, fix it, and @Rowisi, also remove java from dependencies.

Is it just me, or packettracer can't be executed anywhere from the terminal? I have to cd to /opt/packettracer to use it.

runnytu commented on 2020-02-23 12:19 (UTC)

@Rowisi, Java is needed to serve: /opt/packettracer/extensions/ptaplayer/ptaplayer-12.009.jar, I don't use PTA and can't confirm if without java PTA is still working ok or not, if someone can confirm that PTA is working without java I remove Java from dependencies.

Java is no longer in dependencies as I said

<deleted-account> commented on 2020-02-22 15:01 (UTC)

@runnytu before installing this package. I have deleted java-runtime from dependencies array and I don't have Java installed. Still everything I used works fine in Packettracer. Not sure what Java is needed for...

runnytu commented on 2020-02-22 13:34 (UTC)

@Rowisi, If you read carefully it says "Starting with version 7.2.2 Packet Tracer no longer requires Java for use with assessments", only for assessments, now you don't need java plugin in a web browser because it's integrated into the package, but still, it's needed for the package working.
