Eclipse is an open-source integrated development environment (IDE) used to develop software applications in Java and other programming languages. Kali Linux is a popular Linux distribution used by ethical hackers, security researchers, and penetration testers.
This tutorial will guide you through the steps to download and install Eclipse on Kali Linux Latest.
Before installing Eclipse, you need to have the following:
If you have not installed JDK, you can download and install it using the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install default-jdk
Go to the Eclipse website and download the latest version of Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. Alternatively, you can use the following command in the terminal to download Eclipse:
wget https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/2021-06/R/eclipse-java-2021-06-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz&mirror_id=1209 -O eclipse-java.tar.gz
Note that you may need to change the download link according to the latest version of Eclipse.
Once you have downloaded the Eclipse tarball, move it to the desired location and extract it using the following command in the terminal:
tar -xvf eclipse-java-[version].tar.gz
For example,
tar -xvf eclipse-java-2021-06-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
After extracting the Eclipse tarball, go to the eclipse directory and launch Eclipse by executing the eclipse command in the terminal:
cd eclipse
./eclipse
When you launch Eclipse for the first time, it will prompt you to choose a workspace. A workspace is a directory where Eclipse stores your projects and settings. You can choose a default workspace or create a new one.
You can install Eclipse plugins to enhance its functionality. To install plugins, go to the Help menu and select Eclipse Marketplace. From there, you can search for plugins and install them.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Eclipse on Kali Linux Latest. You can now start developing software applications using Eclipse.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
