## About

This is a Flatpak manifest for [Cisco's Packet Tracer](https://www.netacad.com/courses/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 8.1.1 and is intended to track the latest release. For previous releases see [janymal/PacketTracer7-flatpak](https://github.com/janymal/PacketTracer7-flatpak) and [rpallai/flatpak-pt](https://github.com/rpallai/flatpak-pt).

## Notes

- Do not remove the `.flatpak-builder` directory that is created during the build (while the Flatpak is installed) as it serves as the local Flatpak repository.
