Eclipse Che is a free and open-source cloud-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that provides developers with the ability to create, build, test, and run applications all in one place. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Eclipse Che on your Windows 10 computer.
Requirements
Before we begin, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

- Extract the downloaded zip file to a location on your computer where you want to install Eclipse Che.
- Open the extracted folder and go to the
bin subfolder.
- Find the
che.bat file and double-click to run it. This will start the Eclipse Che installation process.
- The installation process will prompt you to select the type of installation. Choose "Single-User Installation" to install Eclipse Che on your local machine.
