I am new to Linux. Trying to install Packet Tracer 7 on Ubuntu 16.10 with no success. Basically tried two different methods from Ubuntu previous answers namely: Method one: How do I run Cisco Packet Tracer 6.0.1?
Re-download Cisco Packet Tracer 6.0 for Ubuntu.
Open up Downloads folder, rename to CiscoPacketTracer6.0.
Open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t).
Type in:
sudo su
And type in your password and press Enter
Then type:
cd Downloads
ls
chmod +x CiscoPacketTracer6.0
./CiscoPacketTracer6.0
I got stuck here getting the error: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
.
Method two:
From the same link above second answer:basically the same method, the difference is:
sudo chmod a+x PT601.tar.gz
bash ./PT601.tar.gz
Got stuck again with the error: cannot execute binary file
Then searched again and found that it might be a 64/32 bit error so I downloaded the 32bit version from netacad and tried the first method again and got the same error: cannot execute binary file
.
Then I tried the second method and got: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
.
The netacad provides the following two versions:
Linux Desktop Version 7.0 English
Ubuntu 14.04 supported for 64 bit;
Ubuntu 12.04 supported for 32 bit
I have tried both with no success. I couldn't find any kind of help on netacad site on how to install those two files. As I am totally new to Linux, I would appreciate it if the (possible) answer is detailed. I am not familiar with terms and methods yet.
