[Newbeatontheblock]

Hi all,
I tried installing packettracer for cisco but something is going wrong here . My specs are

OS Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Laptop hardware -
Aspire 5538G
Memory 3.9 Gib
Processor Amd Athlon X2 Dual Core Processor L310 x2
Graphics : Vesa M: 92
OS type - 32- Bit

I have tried the following
* first i download packettracer
* Then i did Extract that .gz file. with archive manager which gives me errors
3. Right clicked on Insall(shell script) file and selected properties and then i went permission tab and selected “allow
file executing file as program”. Then i clicked on close button.


Then i tried to install this with Sudo apt-get

But this isnt working either
I have tried with several versions of packettracer

Any one had similar issues ?

Apt-get is for installing packages from online repos. If you had a deb file you would install it using dpkg. The file you downloaded should be able to be read by the archive manager unless the file is corrupt. Was a readme file included?
