Also note, if you are running 10.7, please post to this forum in the future, if my answer doesn't help:

10.7 & 10.5 are very different products.

I tried to install and everything seemed successful, but the program does not start.

/opt/pt/packettracer ; exit;

-bash: /etc/profile: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('

-bash: /etc/profile: line 1: `-e \n# System-wide .profile for sh(1)\n\nif [ -x /usr/libexec/path_helper ]; then\neval `/usr/libexec/path_helper -s`\nfi\n\nif [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then\n[ -r /etc/bashrc ] && . /etc/bashrc\nfi\nPT5HOME=/opt/pt'

-bash-3.2$ /opt/pt/packettracer ; exit;

Starting Packet Tracer 5.3

logout

What to do next, I do not know ... = (((HELP

And I use 10.8.2!

Hi

download " PlayOnMac " Application ==> http://www.playonmac.com/en and then install "Cisco Packet Tracer"

Kind Regards

For the new Packet Tracer 6.01, I just used Wineskin Winery to create a wrapper. Opened that appropriately named "wrapper", added the .exe file from the menu, and then select the packettracer.exe file as the startup file, then hey presto - a Packet Tracer 6.01 for Windows that runs native on my Mac. You'll need to download XCode first for the process to work. But I'm rather happy - this being what I call "The Third Way" (1st: VMWare, via Windows 7 or 8; 2nd: PlayOnMac). I prefer this.

Thanks Sally! 🙂
