Eclipse Che is a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) that is used by developers to write, test, and deploy applications in a single environment.

In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to install Eclipse Che on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that you have the following:

• MXLinux Latest installed on your system

To verify the installation, use the following command:

java --version

The output should show that OpenJDK 11 is installed on your system.

Step 2: Install Docker

Eclipse Che requires Docker to create and run workspaces. Follow these steps to install Docker:

1. Add the official Docker repository key using the following command:

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

2. Add the Docker repository using the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

sudo apt-get update

4. Install Docker:

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

5. Verify that Docker is installed correctly. Run the following command:

sudo docker run hello-world

You should see the output "Hello from Docker!" which indicates that Docker is installed correctly.
