Traceroute is a handy tool for diagnosing network issues by showing the path packets take to reach a destination. On Ubuntu 25.04, it’s not installed by default, but you can set it up in seconds using APT.

Step 1: Update Your Package List

Before installing anything, make sure your system package list is up to date:

sudo apt update

Step 2: Install Traceroute

Now install the traceroute package:

sudo apt install traceroute

When prompted, press y to confirm the installation.

Step 3: Check Installation

Verify that traceroute is installed correctly:

traceroute --version

You should see the version number and basic usage info.

Step 4: Run a Traceroute Test

To test your connection to a domain:

traceroute google.com

It will list each hop along the way and how long each one takes to respond. That’s it — traceroute is now installed and ready to use on Ubuntu 25.04.
