Cisco Packet Tracer

[sark_89]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get Cisco packet tracer working on my kali install. Yes I know it is a windows only program but I have seen people use it on Linux. I have follwed a few tuts online but with no success. I was wondering if anyone has had any success? If so how did you get it going?
I'm running kali 64 bit.

Hi, Packet Tracer is not a Windows only program, there is a linux version as well: Cisco Packet Tracer 6.0.1 for Linux (with tutorials), search for that

I wasn't able to get Packet Tracer 6 working, but I was able to get 5 working after some fiddling.

I used the Ubuntu deb package. Install all those necessary 32-bit packages. Even after all of that, it still wouldn't work without the 64 bit hack from here: http://kaslnetwork.com/articles/inst...ntu-or-debian/

Good luck. It was a pain in the ***. I've been working on it for around 5 hours, tried numerous things and made numerous changes - so I can't really give you a step by step. I utilized quite a few different sources online.

If anyone can get a more recent version working, please let me know. 5.3.3 is different enough to cause me some issues.

Hi all,

Install of CISCO Packet Tracer 6.3 on 64bit OS.. Will not load the application, simply echo's the "Starting packet Tracer " and completes, any further insight into this yet?

______________________

#!/bin/bash

echo Starting Packet Tracer 6.3

PTDIR=/opt/pt
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PTDIR/lib
pushd $PTDIR/bin > /dev/null
./PacketTracer6 "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1
popd > /dev/null

Have attempted practically all the tips provided, still no joy.

Would really like to get this working on with Kali vs switching to VBox Windows.

Suggestions, thoughts, anyone?

Cheers
