I spent hours trying to figure out how to install PacketTracer. So many confusing builds, yours simplified it so well. Thanks again for another awesome video, David.
Installing packet tracer on Linux is quite challenging compared to Windows but fulfilling once done. Thanks so much David for this video. You're the best!
David, thank you So MUCH!. I would have never figured this out. Have only had intro lessons to Linux, but am pretty hardcore on my CCNA stuff (I bought your Udemy course to refresh what I learned over 9 months at comm college for 200-301). You know how you advised to not plug your console port into an Ethernet port - I wish I had seen that PSA sooner lol. One of the downsides to covid and not-in-person networking learning - that never got brought up in class - fortunately my 24 port Aruba switch fell into my hands for free, so I didn't east a bunch of money, just opportunity to learn). Thanks for all you do; you're a gem.
@David Bombal Thank you! Been setting up Pop OS on my laptop. Got GNS3 and Packet Tracer ready to go. I've purchased your Wireshark and CCNA courses. Can't wait to dive in!
I had a problem installing on a dual boot Kali Linux PC. And I had no choice but use the Packet Tracer on Windows. However, this video finally solved the problem and I am back to Kali. Thanks.
Thank you, David. The last time you teach us about packet tracer, I tried to turn on the switch without success, it take me some tame to notice the lack of the power source :) Please keep going with packet tracer I think it’s a very powerful learning tool. Greetings!!
For Cisco Packet Tracer 8 it will be better to use this command: "sudo apt install ". And no longer problems with dependences. It seems to me that this command will work better with Cisco Packet Tracer 7.3.1 too.
-Thanks for the video David ... !!! -I already have the Packet Tracer installed and use it a lot in preparation for the CCNA, it is an essential tool to understand and the Cisco technologies that are the basis of the entire network engineering profession need to have this knowledge. -Then I will ask for help in a serious problem ... !!! -Chuck on Monday showed that Juniper was releasing training for free and if he finished the course of migrating from CCNA to JNCIA in the end he does a pre-test and if he gets 70% of success in the pre-test they release a voucher for test of certification for free. -As I am making sure to immigrate and the more knowledge the better in the CV, I paused for a short time the preparation of the CCNA that was at the end and I plunged my face in the training to win the right to JNCIA's test, after all the more knowledge the better and as already said the minimum wage of the month in Brazil is 193 dollars and the certification of 200 dollars for free is a gift from the gods, for CCNA I had to do outside work for months to collect the money, and in my case the more certificates I show it will be better for my immigration. -Outside that it is another type of technology, with a line of rationing entirely from Cisco IOS that is much more based and much more similar to Linux servers and it is very interesting to learn it in parallel with Cisco. -I'm finishing the training in 2 days of running but I have a problem: Simulate that the Juniper equipment is in a virtual lab, how to install their Routers in the Packet Tracer ...? -Or on GNS3 or IOU ...? -I found some things saying that in GNS3 it is possible to create the equipment. -I found some labs on their training site, but I wanted to be able to train more to show different labs to better prepare for the test and not miss this opportunity. -Any idea...?
@@buddinglearner7085 -I managed to make the Junos + Cisco labs on my PC with Linux Mint and GNS3, ok that devours my 16GB of Ram, but I managed to do the labs, GNS3 is the only option if one wants to simulate besides Cisco that the Packet Tracer already makes a very satisfactory laboratory, or the IOU, to simulate other manufacturers like Juniper or Fortinet or Palo Alto is the ideal option, but as I said, you need a medium machine at least to run the laboratory well. -Thanks for the crowd ... !!!
Wow thank you so much. I manage to install it on a Chromebook after a Google search told me 'Computer says no', even Chat GPT couldn't help. Thank you.
I spent hours trying to install this, sorting out dependencies, and you just made it so simple, thank you so much, I can now use Packet Tracer on my Pop!_OS. :D
Just a heads up, there is a slightly faster way of installing Packet Tracer on Ubuntu: sudo chmod +x PacketTracer_731_amd64.deb sudo apt install ./PacketTracer_731_amd64.deb This way also includes a shortcut, so you don't have to type packettracer on the CL all the time.
Hey david the magician great as always. Tell me what do u think on the new SEULA of Packet Tracer, and how you manage with the limited restrictions there?
Thanks for the fab info David, I'm on the last section of the Packet Tracer course and it's great. Can't wait to get stuck into the ccna. I've installed PT on my minimal Arch installation, it works but there have been some bugs - mostly graphics glitches, but sometimes (thankfully not too often) some functional stuff too. I'm probably going to make an Ubuntu VM (VirtualBox) and install PT on that, but first was wondering if you had any pointers, hints or additional info for Arch installs. Many thanks.
@@thedoubleop Hope the video helps you get it working Will. I installed this earlier today on my Ubuntu VM so this should work without any problems on an updated 20.04 install.
Hi David , first of all thanks to this tutorial 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I am from india an I just started learning and watching videos of yours Thank you very much one day I would love to meet you or If you find that I can Lear something from you the. Kindly reply to my comment THANK YIU AGAIN AND LOTS OF LOVE FROM INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
On Debian 10 there is some dependencies issues, but it can be install... A repo in github can help you with that. In my machine i run MXLinux 18, a Debian 9 based distro, and this dependencies issues can not be fix it without broken something else... But it should work on MXLinux 19 based on Debian 10.
Thanks you really saved my day. Where can i learn Ubuntu/ linux completely?? What is comptia linux+? If i learn that will i be able to master at Ubuntu/linux
You can also just double click on the package while in the file explorer - GDebi will show you all the dependencies, errors etc. and if everything is fine you can install it with one more click. At least on Linux Mint 20 that is based on Ubuntu 20.04.
David, how can I help support you and your channel other than merch purchases e.g., suscribestar, paypal, etc.? I appreciate the content you provide and I am very pleased with the thoroughness of your instruction down to command examples in the descriptions of each video. I know these video tutorials take many hours to produce and time is indeed our most valuable commodity which by your instruction saves me valuable time. This unselfishness on your part does not go unnoticed, and you should be compensated to encourage and satiate you for this help. I guess I could always send you HONEY from my apiary, too!
Thank you=) PT starts and working. I still have trouble starting up PT exams from netacad though (from my research so far it is something to do with javaws). Has anyone faced/solved this issue?
I was just googling how to do this today. Wow, what a coincidence. Planning on watching the full video later.. but does this apply to Linux Mint as well?

Finally a thought for linux users. Thanks David for your help. It would be great to have some videos about GNS3 for Linux users.
I have been struggling with errors trying to install this for my class. You are a lifesaver! Great video!
Spent several hours tinkering with other installation methods. This worked perfect. Thanks! Used the 8.0 version of PT.

You're welcome Vincent! This version is much, much better :)
