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.

sevbesau, copy deb file to directory where PKGBUILD sits, run ar x PacketTracer_731_amd64.deb and then run makepkg

Works fine but the only options for cli font are courier and courier new. is it just me?

@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.
