You can also unzip in "File Explorer" by double-clicking the tarball. x: extract, z: for unzipping gz, v: verbose, f: filename $ sudo tar xzvf ~/Downloads/eclipse-java-2020-12-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz // Extract the downloaded package
I prefer the zip version, because there is no need to run any installer. To install Eclipse, simply unzip the downloaded file into a directory of your choice (e.g., " c:\myProject").
For beginners, choose the " Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" and " Windows x86_64" (e.g., " eclipse-java-2020-12-R-win32-x86_64.zip" - about 201MB) ⇒ Download. Under "Get Eclipse IDE 2029-12" ⇒ Click the link "Download Packages" (instead of pushing the button "Download x86_64").
To use Eclipse for Java programming, you need to first install Java Development Kit (JDK).
