Eclipse is a popular integrated development environment (IDE) used for Java development. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Eclipse on Manjaro Linux.
Before installing any new software, it is always a good idea to update your system to make sure you have the latest version of packages installed. Run the following command to update your system:
sudo pacman -Syu
Eclipse is written in Java, so we need to install Java Development Kit (JDK) to run Eclipse. Run the following command to install JDK:
sudo pacman -S jdk-openjdk
Go to the Eclipse download page and download the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. Choose the appropriate version based on your Linux distribution and 32-bit or 64-bit. For Manjaro, we recommend downloading the 64-bit version.
Extract the downloaded file to a directory of your choice using the following command:
tar -xzf eclipse-jee-2021-06-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
Replace eclipse-jee-2021-06-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz with the name of your downloaded file.
Navigate to the extracted directory and run the eclipse command to start Eclipse.
./eclipse```
This will launch the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and run Eclipse on Manjaro Linux. You can now start developing your Java projects using Eclipse.
