If you use Linux and take the Cisco \u201cIntroduction to Packet Tracer\u201d course, you\u2019ll need to install the Packet Tracer application on your computer. The trouble is, Cisco doesn\u2019t do a great job teaching users how to get the app working. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to set up How to install Cisco Packet Tracer on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"Cisco\u00a0<\/p>\n

Enroll in the \u201cIntroduction to Packet Tracer\u201d course<\/h2>\n

To download the Cisco Packet Tracer app on your Linux system, you\u2019ll first need to enroll in the \u201cIntroduction to Packet Tracer\u201d course. Sadly, there is no other way to make the download available. However, the good news is that the course is entirely free.<\/p>\n

To enroll in the course, start by heading over to the \u201cIntroduction to Packet Tracer\u201d course page. Once on the page, locate the \u201cSign up today!\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n

When you select the \u201cSign up today!\u201d button with the mouse, a form will appear on the screen. In this form, fill out your email, first and last name, communication preferences, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After filling out the form, scroll to the bottom of the page. On the bottom of the page, find the \u201cSubmit\u201d button and click on it with the mouse to submit it to Cisco.<\/p>\n

Create an account<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So, you\u2019ve signed up for the \u201cIntroduction to Packet Tracer\u201d course. Next, you must create a Cisco account. To do this, fill out your email, first and last name, country or region, etc. You\u2019ll also need to create a password.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve filled out the account information into the page, you must solve the Captcha. Look at the image and fill out the Captcha.<\/p>\n

After filling out the Captcha on the page, you\u2019ll need to tell Cisco if you\u2019d like to receive email updates. Select \u201cyes\u201d or \u201cno\u201d depending on your preferences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When all information on the account creation page is complete, select the \u201cRegister\u201d button.<\/p>\n

Verify your email<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve created a Cisco account, you must verify your email account. To verify your email account, log into your email, locate the message and copy the verification code to your clipboard.<\/p>\n

After copying the verification code to your clipboard, press Ctrl + V\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard to paste it into the text box, then select the \u201cVerify\u201d button to confirm the code.<\/p>\n

Configure your profile<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll need to configure your Cisco profile after creation. To configure your profile, fill out the forms on the Cisco welcome page. Filling out this page will not take long.<\/p>\n

Once all of the forms on the profile page are filled out, press the\u00a0Create Account\u00a0<\/strong>button at the page\u2019s bottom.<\/p>\n

Once on the page, scroll to the bottom, locate \u201cPacket Tracer\u201d under the \u201cResources\u201d section, and click on it. After selecting the \u201cPacket Tracer\u201d link, you\u2019ll be taken to the download page.<\/p>\n

Installing Packet Tracer on Linux<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Packet Tracer is installable on Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, and any operating system based on Ubuntu or Debian. Additionally, it is installable on Arch Linux and Manjaro Linux via the AUR.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

To install Packet Tracer on Ubuntu, start by using the\u00a0CD\u00a0<\/strong>command and move into the \u201cDownloads\u201d directory where the DEB package was downloaded.<\/p>\n

\ncd ~\/Downloads\n<\/pre>\n
Once inside the \u201cDownloads\u201d folder, you can install the Packet Tracer application on your Ubuntu Linux PC by using the apt\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt install .\/PacketTracer_*_final.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
On Debian Linux, you will be able to install Packet Tracer the same way Ubuntu users do. To start the installation, use the\u00a0CD\u00a0<\/strong>command to move into the \u201cDownloads\u201d directory where the DEB package is.<\/p>\n
\ncd ~\/Downloads\n<\/pre>\n
Inside of the \u201cDownloads\u201d directory, execute the dpkg\u00a0<\/strong>command to install the Packet Tracer DEB package on Debian.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i PacketTracer_*_final.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After installing the Packet Tracer application, you may need to correct some dependency issues. To do that, enter the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux\/Manjaro<\/h4>\n
On Arch Linux as well as Manjaro, it is possible to install Packet Tracer using the AUR. To start, ensure you\u2019ve downloaded the Packet Tracer DEB package. Then, use the commands below to install the \u201cgit\u201d and \u201cbase-devel\u201d packages.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S git base-devel\n<\/pre>\n
After installing the two packages, use the\u00a0git clone\u00a0<\/strong>command to manually download the Packet Tracer AUR package.<\/p>\n
\ngit clone https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/packettracer.git\n<\/pre>\n
Once the \u201cpackettracer\u201d AUR package is done downloading, open up the Linux file manager, browse for the Packet Tracer DEB package and place it in the \u201cpackettracer\u201d folder in your home directory. Then, use the commands below to install the app.<\/p>\n
