Eclipse Ganymede

[tde]

Hi guys,

I'm new to kubuntu and I'm trying to install the latest version of Eclipse. Since there is only version 3.2 in repositories, I have downloaded the newest, Ganymede version in .tar.gz file. I unpacked it but there is no setup.exe ;) file in there so I'm lost. Could you please help me install it?

Thank you,
Tde

You don't need to run a setup program after unpacking the .tar.gz. After unpacking, just cd into the directory and type ./eclipse.

But when I use Konsole, if I type in eclipse, it says that it is not installed. How come?

Because the directory that you unpacked Eclipse in is not in the PATH (the environment variable that specifies where the Bash shell looks for programs to execute).

Don't just open a terminal and type "eclipse". Go to the directory (with "cd") where Eclipse is unpacked and type "./eclipse" (dot, slash, eclipse).
