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.

Seems like the Skills for All login is broken on KDE; however, it's possible to work around this by using the system libraries instead (with the exception of OpenSSL). Example:

LD_PRELOAD="/opt/packettracer/bin/libcrypto.so.1.1 /opt/packettracer/bin/libssl.so.1.1" PTDIR=/opt/packettracer /opt/packettracer/bin/PacketTracer

You need to rename the package now slightly so that this will work.

Completing their knowledge course is not required, just an account registration. Their instructions would have you believe otherwise. I used this url to download the 811 version: https://skillsforall.com/resources/lab-downloads

To avoid having to create an account to use this (their website was completely broken for me this week), simply start the software without internet access :)

I had to install some of the qt5 packages to get it working. The runtime dependencies need to be updated to include the following.

  • qt5-multimedia

  • qt5-webengine

  • qt5-svg

  • qt5-networkauth

  • qt5-websockets

  • qt5-script

  • qt5-speech

/etc/profile.d/packettracer.sh should be a sh-compatible, sourceable script. Please do not use bashisms (like function). Also, there's no need for a shebang, since the script is meant to be sourced, not executed.

This is a possible fixed version: https://pastebin.com/cvgVniCk

The current version breaks for shells other than Bash, e.g. Dash.

Then mark it out of date instead of commenting about it.

Hi, I successfully installed packettracer following @runnytu comment. However, I wanted to let you know that the latest packettracker available on Netacad is now 8.1.0, so I had to update the version and the sha512 of the PKGBUILD. Thank you for this package!
