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.

I don't know if this is pacman4 related, but I had to remove the () in "install=(pt.install)" in order to build. Otherwise it would complain with ==> ERROR: install file ((pt.install)) does not exist.

Hi PMedia Thank you so much. You were really helpful. I'd done all the steps but building the package with makepkg. I somehow assumed that pacman or yaourt would do it once I had all the files locally, but Iwas wrong. So much to learn. Thanks for helping in the process.

Greetings, asynkronos. Welcome to the wonderful world of archlinux. Requirements: You should have installed the package group base-devel before (pacman -S base-devel) 1. download PacketTracer532_Generic_Fedora.tar.gz - it seems you did that already 2. download https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pa/packettracer/packettracer.tar.gz: # wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pa/packettracer/packettracer.tar.gz 3. extract packettracer.tar.gz and go into that directory # tar -xzf packettracer.tar.gz # cd packetracer 4. put PacketTracer532_Generic_Fedora.tar.gz into that directory 5. run makepkg as a normal user # makepkg 6. The Package is now build and you could install it for your platform (as root): # pacman -U packettracer-5.3.2-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz or # pacman -U packettracer-5.3.2-2-amd64.pkg.tar.xz 7. Done. Feel free to ask any further questions.

Hi everyone and please forgive my ignorance I'm new to Arch, pacman and yaourt (the one I'm using for AUR). I'm doing a CCNA course and I want packet tracer on my Arch box. I got the Fedora package from the website. Would anyone care to explain in a more or less detailed way how I need to proceed to get it installed? Every step if possible, I know most of you would find it easy/simple but obviously I'm not doing something right. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't believe that lib32-qt is required since we are using the qt version that ships with PT.

CARCH = i686 is not covered. (And "x86" is probably useless.)

The cpu usage is a bit higher with some simulations with this build (~25%) which makes command line very laggy on the devices in the simulation. Any reason why?
