Packet Tracer Flatpak

A Flatpak manifest for Cisco's Packet Tracer.

About

This is a Flatpak manifest for Cisco's Packet Tracer. The Deb package in which Cisco distributes their binary build of Packet Tracer is not included as the download link for and use of Packet Tracer itself requires a Netacad account.

This is currently based on Packet Tracer 8.2.1 and is intended to track the latest release. For previous releases see janymal/PacketTracer7-flatpak and rpallai/flatpak-pt.
