Installing Eclipse

NOTE: As Eclipse is a Java development tool, you will need the Java Development Kit to install Eclipse. If you have not yet installed the JDK, see this page.

Eclipse is a powerful graphical IDE for Java. To install:

1. Go to the Eclipse Downloads
2. Select your OS in the drop-down bar in the upper right corner
3. Download Eclipse Classic for your architecture
4. Extract the file (.zip or .tar.gz)

NOTE: In Windows, the C:\Program Files path is often protected from outside modification, such as extracting ZIP archives. To avoid extraction failure, extract the archive to another folder such as C:\Downloads, and move the extracted files to your desired location.

For additional help, see Eclipse's detailed installation instructions.
