In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing Eclipse, which is from http://www.eclipse.org/, on Debian Latest.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
It is always best to update your system before installing any new software to ensure that you have all the latest updates and patches. Use the following commands to update your Debian distribution:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Eclipse requires Java to run. You can install Java using the following command:
sudo apt install default-jre
Next, download the latest version of Eclipse from the official website, http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. Make sure to download the appropriate version for your system architecture (32 or 64-bit).
wget http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/2021-06/R/eclipse-jee-2021-06-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded archive to the /opt directory using the following command:
sudo tar -xzf eclipse-jee-2021-06-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt
Create a symbolic link of the Eclipse executable to the /usr/local/bin directory using the following command:
sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse /usr/local/bin/eclipse
Finally, launch Eclipse by typing the following command in the terminal and pressing Enter:
eclipse
