HOW TO Install GNS3 1.3.7 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit with IOU Support

GNS3 runs great on Ubuntu, and it's easy to install. This quick tutorial provides the steps to install GNS3, with IOU support, on Ubuntu 14.0.4.1 LTS 64-bit. When finished, you'll still have to install an IOU license file (for IOU support), IOU image files, and IOS image files; GNS3 does not provide any of those files, so you'll have to acquire them on your own.


--- GNS3 is installed from a Terminal command line ---

$ cd ..

# - Install GNS3 IOUYAP app (provides network support for IOU)
