GNS3 is an open-source network simulation software that allows users to simulate complex network topologies. In this tutorial, we will cover how to install GNS3 on Manjaro Linux.
Before we start the installation process, ensure you have the following prerequisites.
We need to install some dependencies necessary to run GNS3 on Manjaro Linux. Open a terminal and run the following commands.
sudo pacman -S python-pip qt5-base qt5-svg qt5-websockets socat vpcs
Now, let's install necessary dependencies required to run GNS3. Open a terminal and run the following commands.
sudo pip install pyqt5==5.13.2 pyyaml==5.1.2 psutil==5.7.0 netifaces==0.10.4 paramiko==2.7.2
Now that we have all the dependencies installed, let's proceed to the installation of GNS3. Open a terminal and run the following commands.
sudo pip install gns3-gui gns3-server
Once the installation is complete, we can run GNS3 by opening the terminal and running the following command.
gns3
This will open up the GNS3 GUI, and you can start creating network topologies.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed GNS3 on Manjaro Linux.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
