Install Packet Tracer on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

If you’re a newbie in networking trying to get certifications such as Cisco CCENT or CCNA, then Packet Tracer will be a great help to you.

Cisco Packet Tracer is a network simulation software for simulating Cisco networking devices. You can use Cisco Packet Tracer to design simple to pretty complex network topologies. You can also configure the virtual computers, routers, switches etc in Packet Tracer to test your network topology.

Cisco Packet Tracer can also be used to simulate wireless networks, IP telephony networks (VoIP) and many more.

If you’re aiming for Cisco certification such as CCENT, CCNA etc, then you can use Cisco Packet Tracer to learn to configure Cisco networking devices (such as Switches and Routers) using Cisco IOS commands.

In this article, I will show you how to install and use Cisco Packet Tracer on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Let’s get started.

Install Cisco packet tracer on Linux Desktop

Here in this post we will cover the process on how to install Cisco Packet Tracer on Linux Desktop. First we will go through the setup process for the Debian based distros, meaning that this procedure will apply for the Debian, Linux Mint , Ubuntu and etc. With these steps you can install Cisco Packet Tracer on Debian, Linux Mint, Ubuntu and other Debian/Ubuntu based systems.

Another network simulation you can try out as well is GNS3(free as well. You can check the installation and how it looks on this post.

Bellow is a video tutorial as well:

Extracting the archive and running the installation

After you downloaded the installation, we now need to use the terminal. Run the terminal and navigate to the folder where the file is downloaded, in this case it is in Downloads folder:

Now we will extract the installation from the archive, for that we need to use the following command:

tar xvzf PacketTracer7.2.1forLinux64bit.tar.gz -C PacketTracer/

install Cisco packet tracer on Linux

I created a new separate folder PacketTracer and in the command, I set the parameter to extract all the files in that folder. While still in the Downloads folder, we need to go the new folder we created, PacketTracer :

In this folder run the install file.

When you start the installation, hit space to pass the license agreement, accept the agreement in the end. After that, the installation will prompt you to use the default installation location or another which you can specify, but we will go with the default location. Then, installation will ask for your root password. Provide your root password.

Installing the missing library package

The installation will finish quickly, but we will not be able to run it yet and the shortcut which installation has created is not working, so we need to fix that as well.

install Cisco packet tracer on Linux

We can run the software using the terminal. Software is located in the /opt/pt/bin folder. Command to navigate to the Cisco Packet Tracer executable file:

But, if we try to run the software, we will get an error saying that a library is missing . We need to acquire that library package and install it.

Link to the library package to download it: Download the library

install Cisco packet tracer on Linux

We need to choose the package for the right PC architecture we have on our PC. In our case, it is amd64 which is a 64 bit version. When you download the package, just run it(double click on it) and the system will run the installation process.

install Cisco packet tracer on Linux

A new prompt window will appear, it will display the package. On the bottom right corner you’ll have the option to install the package. Click on it and it will ask for the root password.

Running the Cisco Packet Tracer and creating a new shortcut

After we installed the library, we’ll be able now to run the Cisco Packet Tracer. We can run ti from the terminal. Since we installed the Cisco Packet Tracer version 7.2.1, the software will first prompt you to login with your netacad account in order to continue. But, if you don’t need to use the account anymore, you can use the Packet Tracer with the Guest login. Click on the Guest Login button on the bottom right corner. You’ll get a timer of 10 seconds. Wait for it and after that you’ll be able to use the software.

What is left is to fix the shortcut. Actually, instead, we will create a new shortcut. Go to the /opt/pt/bin folder and copy to the dekstop a file CIscoPacketTracer.desktop. We need to edit that file with a text editor. You can use nano, gedit or some other. In this example, we used the gedit. So, start the terminal again and navigate to the Desktop:

install Cisco packet tracer on Linux

Then run the command the edit the file with a gedit text editor:

gedit CiscoPacketTracer.desktop

install Cisco packet tracer on Linux

Now, edit the Exec= line and add the location of the Cisco Packet Tracer executable and that is /opt/pt/. Save the file, exit the text editor.

install Cisco packet tracer on Linux

Next step is to convert that new shortcut into the executable. Use the command:

sudo chmod +x CiscoPacketTracer.desktop

install Cisco packet tracer on Linux

And test the new shortcut.

Now, only thing left to do is to move the new shortcut we created to the applications folder in order for our new shortcut to show up in the start menu – this is optional. Use the command:

sudo mv CiscoPacketTracer.desktop /usr/share/applications

install Cisco packet tracer on Linux

Test the shortcut again from the start menu. You can delete the old shortcut and enjoy your virtual network lab.

Summary

With these steps we performed the procedure how to install cisco packet tracer on linux desktop. The steps we executed on this post can be used to install cisco packet tracer on debian, mint and ubuntu.

Thank you very much for your time. I hope you found the post useful.
