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.

@aissarmurad, your directory isn't the correct path, everyone may change it to any path, for example to make a kernel that isn't possible in /tmp because of limitations of space, could change in /home or any other path in pacman's config file, then there's nothing to fix, everyone must move the tar.gz to your own working directory.

I managed to install after move the file 'PacketTracer70_64bit_linux.tar.gz' to '/tmp/yaourt-tmp-${USER}/aur-packettracer/' with 'sudo mv PacketTracer70_64bit_linux.tar.gz /tmp/yaourt-tmp-${USER}/aur-packettracer/' Please.. FIX the package to move tar.gz file in current work directory to correct path.

@runnytu, thank you so much. i've tried to figure out where to put this tar for more than 3 hours

runnytu commented on 2016-07-26 19:56 (UTC)

@vilko, in the directory where your system build the AUR packages, if you don't know where is, download the snapshot of this package, untar it and put the packettracer tar in this directory and then makepkg on it.

@runnytu, where exactly I should put packettracer tar? /tmp or /tmp/makepkg does not work for me

@runnytu , thanks ^-^

@pystoi, As i said some times before, packettracer is freeware but not free to redistribute, everybody should open an account to cisco netacad www.netacad.com for free and download the desired file for 32 or 64 bits and put them in the source directory in order to build succesfully the package.
