Installation
Windows
Use the provided installer. Protocol handlers are registered during the installation.
macOS
Drag and drop the app from the DMG into /Applications. Start the app at least once to register the protocol handlers.
Linux (Debian package)
ONLY FOR UBUNTU AT THE MOMENT
You can install gns3-webclient-pack from our official PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gns3/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gns3-webclient-pack

or download .deb packages from here.
The Debian package will install all dependencies including telnet, vinagre, virt-viewer and wireshark.
Linux (Pypi package)
sudo python3 -m pip install gns3-webclient-pack
sudo gns3-webclient-config --install-mime-types

You may have to manually install dependencies including telnet, vinagre, virt-viewer and wireshark.
Linux script installation
Alternatively, you can install gns3-webclient-pack from terminal using the following command:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GNS3/gns3-webclient-pack/master/install.sh | sh

This method should work on most Linux distros. Please open an new issue if this is not the case.
Debugging
Use the xdg-open tool on Linux (from the xdg-utils package). For instance to start a Telnet console:
xdg-open "gns3+telnet://127.0.0.1:5000/PC1"
On other platforms, check the launcher logs:

Windows: %APPDATA%\GNS3\WebClient\launcher.log
Linux and MacOS: ~/.config/GNS3/WebClient/launcher.log

Tips
How to fix Chrome protocol handler “Always open these types of links in the associated app” pop up.
Windows
Save the following content in a .reg file and execute as an Administrator.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox"=dword:00000001

Note: the GNS3 all-in-one installer already does this.
Linux
First, start bash as root:
sudo bash

Then execute the following to allow Chrome to open the GNS3 protocol handlers.
mkdir -p /etc/opt/chrome/policies/{managed,recommended}
cat <<EOF >/etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/allow_gns3_protocols.json
{
"URLAllowlist": [
"gns3+telnet:*",
"gns3+vnc:*",
"gns3+spice:*",
"gns3+pcap:*"
]
}
EOF

MacOS
Run the following in a terminal.
defaults write com.google.Chrome URLWhitelist -array 'gns3+telnet://*' 'gns3+vnc://*' 'gns3+spice://*' 'gns3+pcap://*'
