Note: This is a step by step guide to install Cisco Packet Tracer 6.2 (Student Version) in Ubuntu 14.04 (This may also work on other versions, but I have done it on 14.04). Here appropriate location for me is the Desktop.

  • Open the “.tar.gz” folder with “Archive Manager” and “Extract” the content to appropriate location.
  • Open terminal using Ctrl+Alt+T.
  • Change directory to the folder (in appropriate location) using cd. [ If stored in desktop cd Desktop/PacketTracer62Student ]
  • Run the installation file using ./install

  • Accept the terms and conditions by pressing Y
  • It will ask root permissions to copy files to opt/pt, input your password to continue installation.

  • There is an convenient symbolic link created, which should be allowed.
  • Packet Tracer should be installed! To run either use the command packettracer from terminal or go to the folder PacketTracer62Student/bin and double click on PacketTracer6.

Congratulations on installing Cisco Packet Tracer 6.2!
