Now that Eclipse has been downloaded and installed on our computer, we will realize that we will not find a launcher available. In this example it has been the version for PHP.

Once the directory is indicated, the version of eclipse that we selected during the installation will open before us. Then, after the loading process, we will be asked to let us indicate the working directory that Eclipse will work with. At this point, all we have to do is start the program by pressing the button " Launch". After this, we will just have to wait for the Eclipse installer to download and install all the necessary packages.Īfter the installation is complete, we will see a window like the following screenshot. One time selected directory, we will only have to click on the button that says "INSTALL" to continue.īefore finishing the installation we will have to accept the license terms and press the button " Accept" to continue. By default, the installation directory will appear within the home folder of our user. In the screen that we will see now, we are going to use the instructions and the options that are shown on the screen. In the first screen that will appear, we will select the IDE package or tools that interest us install to proceed further. To perform this action, we open the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and type: tar -xvf ~/Descargas/eclipse-inst-linu圆4.tar.gzĪfter that, we launch the installer typing in the same terminal: ~/Descargas/eclipse-installer/eclipse-inst If not, let everyone look for the location of the package.

I assume that by default the package Eclipse was downloaded in the ~ / Downloads folder from the user's folder. Now we are going to extract the downloaded package using the commands below. This package we can get from the official website, In the Downloads section. Now that we have Java installed on our system, it is time to download the Eclipse Oxygen IDE package. To install the JDK, we can follow the steps that a colleague already showed us in an article in which he indicated how to install different versions of java on our Ubuntu system.

Eclipse requires Java JDK to be installed in the system in which we want to use it.
