Older versions of Packet Tracer did not support the Mac operating systems. This time, Networking Academy released version 7.2 for an easier installation of software on macOS systems.

Since this Cisco simulator software previously only supported Windows and Linux operating systems, Wine and PlayOnMac were widely used to install on macOS.

Now you can easily setup Packet Tracer on your Apple computer without the need for additional software!
