Installing GNS3 1.4.1 on Debian Stretch.

I’am studying for my CCNA, and dynamips with GNS3 is a helpful tool while studying the exam
objectives. Running Debian testing (Stretch), I was suprised with the outdated GNS3 packages (version
0.8.7). Following are instruction on howto build the latest GNS3 1.4.1 by yourself.
Install GNS3 and GNS3-Server
As root run :

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pyqt5 python3-


pyqt5.qtsvg python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit python3-dev build-essential linux-
headers-$(uname -r)

Download the GNS3-GUI and GNS3-Server package:


GNS3-GUI : https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/g/gns3-gui/gns3-gui-
1.4.1.tar.gz#md5=962438ca44da98ac2c09409819e1c3dd
GNS3-Server : https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-server/archive/v1.4.1.tar.gz
Move the packages to

/usr/src

Next untar the gns3-gui package and build the package

tar zxvf /usr/src/gns3-gui-1.4.1.tar.gz


cd /usr/src/gns3-gui-1.4.1
python3 ./setup.py install

Now install the GNS3 server

tar zxvf /usr/src/v1.4.1.tar.gz


cd /usr/src/gns3-server-1.4.1
python3 ./setup.py install

Installing Dynamips
Dynamips can be installed with the package manager (apt-get install dynamips) or build form source.
Install the packages needed to build dynamips

apt-get install libelf-dev uuid-dev libpcap0.8-dev cmake build-


essential

Download dynamips from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gns-3/files/Dynamips/0.2.14/


Make a directory dynamips in /usr/src
mkdir /usr/src/dynamips

And copy the dynamips-0.2.14-source.zip file to the directory and build dynamips from source.

cd /usr/src/dynamips
unzip ./dynamips-0.2.14-source.zip
mkdir build
cd build
cmake /usr/src/dynamips/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/dynamips
-DDYNAMIPS_CODE=stable
make install

Running and configuring GNS3


First start the GNS3-server :

gns3server --local

Now start GNS3 and configure it to use the compiled (or installed) dynamips package. Under Edit =>
Preferences.
