installing packet tracer for ubuntu 11.10

[murderd2death]

So I downloaded Cisco's Packet Tracer 5.3.3 from their Academy Connection (http://cisco.netacad.net/cnams/content/templates/LibraryHome.jsp?#/resource/lcms/cnams_site/english/generic_site_areas/library/course_catalog/PTSoftwareDownloads_Students.html), all attempts to install it seem to be futile. I've run a few combinations of code that I got from this installation guide (http://www.ubuntuka.com/run-cisco-packet-tracer-in-ubuntu/) with no avail.


wintermute32@wintermute32-Lenovo-B570:~$ sudo dpkg -i PacketTracer-5.3-u.i386.deb
[sudo] password for wintermute32:

I have found another thread about installing Packet Tracer here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1923424&highlight=installing+packet+tracer), but part of the guide includes installing wine. This is a bit disheartening, as I was hoping to be able to install this without getting into wine. Any of you guys have any ideas or help?

I have the files "PacketTracer533_i386_installer-deb.bin" and "PacketTracer533_Generic_Ubuntu.tar.gz" and I tried opening both in software center, and I get the response that neither file is a software package.

if its a bin file then the installation should be like this

chmod +x filename.bin
./filename.bin

hope that helps .
for your case

chmod +x PacketTracer533_i386_installer-deb.bin
./PacketTracer533_i386_installer-deb.bin

do i need to get into the specific dir that the file is in? Usually when i install things from terminal this doesn't happen though.

Yes my friend .

alright, the problem was just me being a doofus. the file was in the download folder, and i just relocated them to the home folder for a second and ran this command you gave me:

chmod +x PacketTracer533_i386_installer-deb.bin
./PacketTracer533_i386_installer-deb.bin

packet tracer is working fine now, thank you :)

If you are using Mozilla Firefox as your web browser, the default location for all downloads is: /home/USERNAME/Download, where USERNAME="your login credential or name". I have had several problems using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and UbuntuStudio 12.04. I found the information on this web page written by KASL Network.

The article is well written and works according to the details.
