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.

The *.desktop file /usr/share/applications/Cisco-PacketTracer.desktop has the wrong icon path. The wrong path: /opt/pt/arg/app.png Needs to be replaced with: /usr/share/packettracer/art/app.png

Here's how I successfully installed Packet Tracer 7.1 on my system. 1. Download "PacketTracer71_64bit_linux.tar.gz" from http://netacad.com 2. # yaourt -S packettracer (install all dependencies and wait till it puts out this error: ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build . ==> Restart building packettracer ? [y/N] [ DO NOT TYPE "Y" OR "N", LEAVE ALONE FOR NOW ] 3. Open new terminal and look for "packettracer" file by typing in: # sudo find / -name "packettracer" -print 2>/dev/null 4. Mine was located in this dir: "/tmp/yaourt-tmp-nickle/aur-packettracer/" 5. Now copy previously downloaded "PacketTracer71_64bit_linux.tar.gz" and paste into dir: # cp PacketTracer71_64bit_linux.tar.gz /tmp/yaourt-tmp-nickle/aur-packettracer/PacketTracer71_64bit_linux.tar.gz 6. Now return back to original terminal and type "Y" to continue install. Ignore errors towards the end about "cannot remove from /tmp.

Hello, i'm getting an error about the verification of the downloaded sources, is this version still reliable? anyone used it to do the tests? Thanks in advance.

@MrSmith, Since the version 6.3-2 from 2016-06-20, installs in the directory /usr/share/packettracer/ to follow the arch guidelines.

Why does this new version install in the directory /usr/share/packettracer/ and no more in /opt/pt?

Hello, Bump to new version packettracer 7.1-1. Cisco discontinues the 32 bit linux version, only 64 bits version available.

@Leamer, thank you so much! I followed your instructions step-by-step (though I used a newer version of packettracer compared to the one you referenced at the time of your posting). I was able to launch it successfully on the first try. As a total beginner to linux (currently using Manjaro xfce), this is a wonderful feeling. Many thanks again!

Hello, Bump to new version packettracer 7.0-4.
