/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Then mark it out of date instead of commenting about it.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!
works great once u have it setup but is a massive pain in the ass to setup
And please, please read the comment from @runnytu before reporting an error. If a Linux terminal outputs an error that the deb file is not found, that's because Packet Tracer has not be downloaded from Cisco.com yet.
@panagiss,
Log into your Cisco account, download the Ubuntu version of Packet Tracer, and put it in the AUR's packettracer folder.

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.
