How to download and install the Eclipse environment.

1 | Eclipse installation

Eclipse download is available at the following link [http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/]

Note that the Eclipse package is distributed is several pre-packed distributions.

For T-Coffee development choose the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers package download in the flavor suitable for your workstation (Linux/Mac, 32/64 bit).

The installation is extremely easy and does not require any installer or special tool. Just uncompress it on your favorite location and run. Being a Java based toolset the only pre-requisite is the Java JRE installed on your machine.

To start the Eclipse environment locate the eclipse executable in the folder you have uncompressed and launch it.

The first time you launch it you will be asked to specify your workspace folder i.e. the directory where you have - or - you are going to store your project.

After that it will show the Eclipse Welcome screen as the above picture shows.

Go through and open the Eclipse workbench clicking on the yellow arrow on the right.
