🎶I'm already Tracer🎶
If you find out that there's a new version available, please let me know by opening an issue!
Clone this repository and cd
into it.
git clone https://github.com/konradmb/PacketTracer-AppImage.git
cd PacketTracer-AppImage/
Download pkg2appimage tool and make it executable.
wget https://github.com/AppImage/pkg2appimage/raw/master/pkg2appimage
chmod +x pkg2appimage
Build it:
./pkg2appimage PacketTracer.yml
After a short break you should get an executable inside out/
directory.
I can't put the resulting AppImage here, because the Packet Tracer license forbids redistribution (at least it said so when I checked the old license, I can't find it in new EULAs, but there is a reason that NetAcad account is required to download PT).
I don't know if Cisco enforces it, but they could send a DMCA takedown request (and GitHub would have to delete whole repo).
If you encounter an error, download Packet Tracer archive from official site: Cisco_Packet_Tracer_820_Ubuntu_64bit_696ae64b25.deb (requires login). Put it into the directory with .yml file, it will be detected automatically.
Follow the guide, but use PacketTracer-7.3.0.yml
.
./pkg2appimage PacketTracer-7.2.1.yml
In case of error, download PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb and put it into the directory with .yml file.
Follow the guide, but use PacketTracer-7.2.1.yml
.
