The following article explains how to install Eclipse on your computer. The guide is targeted to students of the Java Programming course available on Art of Problem Solving. The version that we will be using is: Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, version 4.2.

Since the installation is system-specific for Mac, Windows, and Ubuntu, read and follow the instructions for the system that you have installed.

Linux/Ubuntu

1. Check if your system is 32- or 64-bit. You can accomplish this by opening a Terminal, and typing: $\verb!uname -m!$ If you get: $\verb!x86_64!$ , then you have a 64-bit system, if the response ends in 32, you have 32-bit system.

2. Go to: Ubuntu Downloads. On the third line from the top, that says: Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, click the Linux 32 Bit or Linux 64 Bit link on the right, depending on the type of your system.
