Eclipse is a free IDE that is used by programmers to write software, mostly in Java, but also in other major programming languages ​​using Eclipse plugins.

The latest release of Eclipse IDE 2023-06 does not ship with binary prebuild packages for Debian-based Linux distributions. Instead, you can install the Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu or Debian based Linux distributions using a compressed installer file.

In this guide, we will learn how to install the latest version of Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu or Debian based Linux distributions.

Requirements:

  • Desktop machine with at least 2 GB of RAM.

Installing the Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu

Eclipse IDE requires Java 9 or newer JRE/JDK to install. The easiest way is to install the Oracle Java JDK using the apt command, as shown in the figure.

$ sudo apt install default-jre

To install the Eclipse IDE on your system, first open a browser and navigate to official Eclipse download page and download the latest tar package that matches the architecture of your Linux distribution.

Alternatively, you can download the Eclipse IDE tarball to your system using the wget utility by running the following command.

$ wget

Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory where the archive package was downloaded, usually the Downloads directory from your home, and run the following commands to start installing the Eclipse IDE.

$ tar -xvf eclipse-inst-jre-linux64.tar.gz
$ cd eclipse-installer/
$ sudo ./eclipse-inst

The new Eclipse Installer lists the IDEs available to Eclipse users. You can select and click on the IDE package you want to install.

Then select the folder where you want to install Eclipse.

Once the installation is complete, you can start Eclipse.
