How to Install GNS 1.3.10 in Ubuntu 14.04/Deepin 2014.3

Graphical Network Simulator-3 (GNS3) is a software emulator for networks, launched in 2008. It allows the combination of virtual devices and real devices, and so can be used to simulate complex networks. It uses Dynamips emulation software to simulate Cisco IOS.Below are steps of how to install it on Ubuntu/Deepin from official documentation found here , which i modified a bit to match with new version GNS 1.3.10

#Run apt-get update
➜  ~  sudo apt-get update
