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.

@guitaristtom From the wiki:

AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux. You should become familiar with the manual build process...

so to answer your question, no. PKGBUILDS should download the source code/binaries automatically, but since Packet Tracer doesn't have a stable download link, we are forced to download it manually.

Isn't the point of having it on the AUR so that we don't have to download and do makepkg manually? 0_o

install failed for version 7.3.1. I followed all the steps in the pinned comment, and am sure the deb file is in the right place. let me know if any more information is required :)

I think libxss should be in dependencies, can't run installed application without it.

@con-fused Please read the pinned comment. You should download the lastest tarball yourself.

Looks like we have a error over here.
