To install Eclipse on a Debian-based Linux system, such as Ubuntu, you will need to have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system. Eclipse is written in Java, and requires a JDK to run.
You can check if the JDK is already installed on your system by running the java -version command. If the JDK is not installed, you can install it by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install default-jdk
Once the JDK is installed, you can download the Eclipse installer from the Eclipse website. The Eclipse installer is a small executable file that will download and install Eclipse on your system.
To run the Eclipse installer, open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installer. Then, make the installer executable and run it using the ./ command. For example:
chmod +x eclipse-inst-linux64.bin ./eclipse-inst-linux64.bin
This will launch the Eclipse installer. Follow the prompts to install Eclipse on your system.
Once Eclipse is installed, you can launch it by running the eclipse command from the terminal.
