README.md

1. Download the Packet Tracer 64-bit Linux Archive from your module website[1]
2. Save the downloaded .tar.gz file in the same folder that contains this README.md file
3. In a terminal (konsole/gnome-terminal/. ) switch to the directory that contains this README.md file (e.g. cd Downloads/packet-tracer)
4. Type makepkg and press enter
5. If the build fails because of missing dependencies, install them with pacman . After installing missing dependencies go back to step 4.
6. After makepkg finishes successfully, an installable package will have been produced. Install it with e.g.: sudo pacman -U packet-tracer-7.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
7. The EULA will be displayed during this process. If you do not agree with its terms, you need to remove the software straight away by uninstalling it with e.g. sudo pacman -R packet-tracer
8. An icon has been created in your desktop environment to start PacketTracer, but you can equally just launch it by typing PacketTracer or PacketTracer7 in any terminal opened from inside your graphical session.
9. You should now be able to launch Packet Tracer.

This package builder was made for Packet Tracer version 7.1. Additional work will be required to port it to other versions.

Some assessements require your copy of Packet Tracer to communicate with the exam you are performing. You can test your system’s readiness from the Cisco NetAcad website [2]

After downloading the file, open a terminal window and cd to the directory into which you have downloaded the jnlp file, then type in javaws PT-Assessment-Client.jnlp . One or more security warnings will be displayed. After accepting them, it may take a minute or so before you can see the result of the test in your browser window.

If a warning is displayed that the Packet tracer directory could not be found, then it is possible that you need to log out of your GUI session and back in. The check looks for the PTDIR environment variable which is set during logins only.

I’ve run ahead to try an exam which uses Packet Tracer and at the moment I am getting an error, as per below

Unable To Determine Cisco Packet Tracer Installation Directory

The Packet Tracer Skills Assessment Player was unable to find the directory in which Packet Tracer is installed. Review the setup procedure for Packet Tracer Skills Assessments.

Important Note: If you have recently installed or upgraded Packet Tracer on your computer, you should re-start your computer to ensure that some important information about the Packet Tracer installation has been integrated into your computer’s environment settings.

Ok this error was because the online assessement is looking for a binary called packettracer instead of the new name PacketTracer7

It also wants files from the extensions folder below bin.

Fixed by adding some symbolic links

 ln -s /usr/share/packet-tracer/bin/PacketTracer7 /usr/share/packet-tracer/bin/packettracer ln -s /usr/share/packet-tracer/extensions /usr/share/packet-tracer/bin/extensions

Arch Linux User Repository

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.

cisco-pt.desktop both end up being mere symlinks to the (no longer existing) PKGBUILD directory.

Also, I need to run unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM since I set it to wayland and that insta-crashes the program.

AlieZ commented on 2023-06-06 08:40 (UTC)

click the «Skills for all»-Button in Packet-Tracer there comes up the message «Login is in progress: a new window has been opened in your browser. Please sign in using your Skills For All Credentials». But nothing in Web-Browser happens.

Edit the PKGBUILD file on line 18

BUG: Packet Tracer is not associated with mimetype x-scheme-handler/pttp by installation of this package—but it is in Ubuntu. PTTP is used to do assessments in NetAcad with Packet Tracer, potentially among other things.

For reference do $dpkg -e CiscoPacketTracer_821_Ubuntu_64bit.deb and see line 10 of the generated DEBIAN/postinst . See also /opt/packettracer/bin/updatepttp, but that’s a binary executable that I’m scared to run cos idk what it does.

WORKAROUND: $xdg-mime default cisco-ptsa.desktop x-scheme-handler/pttp (spoiler alert: this this is line 10 of DEBIAN/postinst )

I know nothing about packages in Arch but as a friendly reminder putting this in the post-uninstallation script is probably a good idea too.

@sTiKyt, when is icedtea-web requested/needed?

sTiKyt commented on 2023-03-30 20:14 (UTC)

Shoudn’t icedtea-web be a dependency?

dead_donkey commented on 2023-03-15 05:34 (UTC)

@tategotoazarasi did you download it from https://www.netacad.com/portal/resources/packet-tracer? For me it has version 8.2.1 on that page. Maybe Cisco hasn’t propagated the update worldwide yet?

tategotoazarasi commented on 2023-03-14 14:34 (UTC)

Where can I get CiscoPacketTracer_821_Ubuntu_64bit.deb? There is only 820 on the official website.

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!

blondie commented on 2021-11-15 14:08 (UTC)

works great once u have it setup but is a massive pain in the ass to setup

GraysonPeddie commented on 2021-10-10 21:17 (UTC)

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.

GraysonPeddie commented on 2021-10-10 21:15 (UTC)

Log into your Cisco account, download the Ubuntu version of Packet Tracer, and put it in the AUR’s packettracer folder.

Needed it for school work. Works properly. (upvoted)

Yeah. That can be a problem when taking the module exams and practice certification exams. Blame it on Cisco, as the developers did not test their program with light and dark themes. I even get white text in white background in some areas when using a dark theme in KDE. Dark theme in GNOME? Works just fine as the GTK theme is not associated with Packet Tracer.

Plus, Cisco did not enumerate the list of fonts installed in a Linux system. When working in a terminal, I get a sans font instead of a monospace font. When I get an error, the marker will not be placed where an error occurred. I’ve had to copy the command and the output to the text editor that already uses a monospace font to find out what went wrong.
