We make those files executable with a single command: Once inside that folder, type "ls" to list out the images stored in it. Next comes two little tricks at once. That puts you into the default folder where GNS3 stores IOL images (the full path is /home/ your_user/GNS3/images/IOU). Just open up a terminal and then type this: Unlike the GNS3-VM, though, when you use the GNS3 GUI to import the images, it'll complain they aren't an executable.
INSTALL GNS3 LINUX HOW TO
If you've been using the gns3-vm, and running IOU, you'll need to generate a new iourc file. It's kind of an unwritten rule to not explain how to do it, but the instructions are all over the internet.

You should see "ubridge docker" as the last two. If you get a permission error regarding ubridge, then you'll need to reboot. You can also verify the groups your user belongs to, by simply typing "groups" (without the qoutes), and you'll see a list of all the groups your user belongs to. Now you can logout and back in, and try running GNS3. Once it's done, you'll create a new group, add your user to the group, and then we'll finally logout and log in, or reboot:
INSTALL GNS3 LINUX INSTALL
(this downloads and install docker-ce. I used "-y" to make it automatically install it, without asking me for permission.) $ sudo apt-get update (this refreshes the metadata from our lists of sources) (use Ctrl+O to save, and Ctrl+X to exit the text editor). (type the below into the docker.list file we're creating) Instead of all the silliness they try to make you go through here to install it, we'll just take a shortcut, and manually create a text file to add to our list of sources, so we can get docker straight from the source. One thing that they didn't make clean in the instructions, is that you need to log out, and log back in (or reboot the system), to update your user's group memberships, permissions in those, etc.īefore starting GNS3 up, we may as well install docker first, since we'll go through the same steps, since it also involves a new group membership. Now, we don't want to install docker from standard Ubuntu repositories, since those versions are too old.
INSTALL GNS3 LINUX LICENSE KEY
To run IOU/IOL images, create a license key for the iourc file build it using that python code.you could look the internet for instructions on what to do. Sudo apt-get install qemu qemu-system qemu-kvm Sudo apt-get install python-software-properties The Ubuntu install instructions (which Mint is a derivative of), will get GNS3 up and running to a point:

Mint, which is based on Ubuntu 16.04, so you can use the Ubuntu directions to install GNS3 (link hereunder for different distros including Mint and others).

This guide for installing on Mint distro.Since Mint is basically Ubuntu, just with some different apps, and the two main editions use the Cinnamon or MATE desktops. I recommend for all GNS3 users to check community forum for any trouble they face or a problem they can’t understand or failed to manage. I want to thank both of ( Andrew / Mou).I just edited / shared with you because I thought it was helpful and important as it includes some steps you can’t find in any video or guide.Īnd by the way it also helps for installing IOS XRv on GNS3 with a lot of details and tricks. I landed a beautiful thread on gns3 community (hereunder) and it was really very handful and helpful. I looked up for installing GNS3 on Linux for many reasons like utilizing more resources and exploiting gns3-vm to run iou.
