How to install eclipse?

pablowablo · 12-26-2004, 01:36 AM

Hello I downloaded the newest version of eclipse from www.eclipse.org... I downloaded the gtk version and I'm having problems installing/running it.. actually I don't know which to run.

So I extracted the tar.gz file, when I browse through the eclipse folder, all I see are more folders. Anyone can tell me what to do?
thanks!

Depends on the distribution.

To install eclipse in debian, the thing you have to do is:

Code:

apt-get install eclipse-jdt

if you have gtk installed, it is ready to run.
In the eclipse directory(the unzipped directory) there is an executable called eclipse

open a terminal,

Code:

cd /downloads/eclipsedirectory

Code:

./eclipse

that's it , that's all
