Книга: Embedded Linux development using Eclipse

2.2 Obtaining Eclipse

2.2 Obtaining Eclipse

Go to http://www.eclipse.org/ and click on the large orange button labeled Download Eclipse. This brings up a list of popular Eclipse packages consisting of the basic Eclipse platform plus one or more application add-ons. To the right of each list entry is a set of three links representing supported operating systems:

• Windows

• Linux

• Mac OS X

Click the Linux link for the “Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers.” This brings up a list of mirror sites from which to download. Pick the one nearest you, understanding that in many cases it’s not at all clear from a site’s name where it is located geographically.

Download the tar.gz file to the directory in which you plan to install Eclipse. There are no hard and fast rules about where to install a given package. /opt is a good place. For reasons I can’t explain now, I chose to install Eclipse in /usr/local.
