    Installation from packages

    Ubuntu-based distributions (64-bit only)


    GNS3 Installation on Linux

    This instructions are for Ubuntu and all distributions based on


    it like Linux Mint.

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gns3/ppa


    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install gns3-gui

    If_you_want_IOU_support

    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386


    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install gns3-iou

    If_you_want_Docker_support

    Remove any old versions:


    sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io

    Install these packages, if not already present:


    sudo apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    software-properties-common
    Import the official Docker GPG key:
    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key
    add -
    Setup the Docker repo:
    sudo add-apt-repository \
    "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
    $(lsb_release -cs) \
    stable"
    *NOTE* There currently isn’t a package for Ubuntu 18.04 in the stable
    release channel, but there is in the edge channel.
    Update the metadata:
    sudo apt-get update
    Install Docker:
    sudo apt-get install docker-ce
    Finally, add your user to the docker group, and restart your user session
    sudo usermod -a -G docker username
    NOTE_1 If you encounter any permission errors when trying to run
    GNS3, DynaMIPS devices, Wireshark, or Qemu VMs, ensure your user
    belongs to the following groups:

    ubridge libvirt kvm wireshark

    You can see which groups your user belongs to, by simply typing “groups”
    in a command terminal. If your user account is missing from one or more
    of these groups, user the usermod command listed above to add them. Be
    sure to log out and back in to restart your user session

    NOTE_2 If running Ubuntu in VMware with Qemu v2.8 or greater, there


    is an issue with VMs hanging. There’s a workaround posted at the bottom
    of this document.

    Debian-based distributions (64-bit only)

    For Debian Jessie

    Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu trusty main


    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu trusty main

    For Debian Stretch


    Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu xenial main


    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu xenial main

    Finally,_run_the_following_commands_in_a_terminal

    sudo apt-get install dirmngr


    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys
    F88F6D313016330404F710FC9A2FD067A2E3EF7B
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install gns3-gui

    For Docker support (Jessie and newer)

    Uninstall older versions:


    sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io
    Install these dependencies, if not already present:
    sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates \
    curl gnupg2 software-properties-common telnet

    Import the official Docker GPG key:


    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/$(. /etc/os-release; echo
    "$ID")/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

    Set up the repository:


    sudo add-apt-repository \
    "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/$(. /etc/os-
    release; echo "$ID") \
    $(lsb_release -cs) \
    stable"

    Install docker:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install docker-ce
    If any permissions errors are encountered, ensure your user belongs to the
    following groups:
    ubridge docker wireshark

    If your user doesn’t belong to any of the above groups, use the following
    command to add it to them:

    sudo usermod -a -G group username

    Log out and back in to restart your user session

    *NOTE* If running Debian in VMware with Qemu v2.8 or greater, there is


    an issue with VMs hanging. There’s a workaround posted at the bottom of
    this document.

    Run the following commands in a terminal:

    Note that this package is maintained by a third-party.

    Starting with Fedora 24 packages are available in official repositories.

    dnf install gns3-server gns3-gui wireshark wireshark-qt

    For_Docker_support

    Uninstall previous versions:

    sudo dnf remove docker \


    docker-client \
    docker-client-latest \
    docker-common \
    docker-latest \
    docker-latest-logrotate \

    Set up the repository -


    sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
    sudo dnf config-manager \
    --add-repo \
    https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
    *NOTE* There currently is NOT a release in the stable channel, so you’ll
    need to use the edge channel for now:

    sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled docker-ce-edge


    Install Docker -

    sudo dnf install docker-ce


    *NOTE* there currently appears to be an issue with docker containers
    from the GNS3 Marketplace (even after adding your user account to the
    docker group). Will update this doc accordingly.

    For IOU support with Fedora


    https://gns3.com/discussions/use-iou-images-in-64-bit-linux

    Note that this package is maintained by a third-party.

    Run the following commands in a terminal:

    emerge --ask net-misc/gns3-gui

    *NOTE*
    Kernel support for KVM and virtio recommended (required for certain
    Qemu VMs)

    Note that this package is maintained by a third-party.

    Run the following commands in a terminal:

    equo i net-misc/gns3-gui net-misc/gns3-converter net-misc/gns3-server

    *NOTE* The available packages are very out-of-date.

    Docker does not seem to work properly with the packages provided via
    Entropy.

    Note that this package is maintained by a third-party.

    GNS3 is in testing repository of "edge" version.

    apk update && apk add gns3-gui gns3-server

    Note that this package is maintained by a third-party.

    project=home%3ADremor%3Agns3&package=gns3-gui

    The GNS3 source archive can be downloaded from here


    Qemu is not provided you need to install it by hand.

    PyPi is the python package index. A repository for pure python package.

    pip3 install gns3-gui


    pip3 install gns3-server

    You will also need to install all the dependencies by hand (qemu, iouyap,
    ubridge, dynamips...).

    If you are running Linux in VMware, have Qemu 2.8 or higher installed,
    and require non-ide HDD types (like virtio or sata) for a Qemu VM, the
    workaround for to prevent them from hanging is to edit the properties of
    the necessary VM by clicking Edit->Preferences->Qemu VMs->[VM
    name]->Edit, and then select the Advanced settings tab. Append “-
    machine type=pc-1.0” to the options line, as shown here:
    This workaround is NOT required if you are running Linux natively on
    your PC.

    (credit for this workaround goes to Bernhard Ehlers)

    You need now to follow the setup wizard:
