Downloading

  1. Click Eclipse

    The following page will appear in your browser. In this handout we will download Eclipse Standard 4.4 for Mac OS. The version you should download is Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers.

    It is critical that Java, Python, and Eclipse are either all 32 Bit or are all 64 Bit (and only if your Machine/OS supports 64 Bit): I think it easiest on Macs to use 64 Bit for everything.

  2. Click the 64-bit after Mac Cocoa for your machine, to the right of Eclipse Standard 4.4 (right under Eclipse Luna R Packages).

    You will see the following page (don't worry about the name of the institution to the right of the big downward pointing arrow).

  3. Click the big downward pointing arrow underneath the Download eclipse-standard-luna-R-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz from: The site named here, in purple to the right of the arrow: [United States] ibiblio (http) is the random one chosen by the download page this time; yours may differ.

    If you see the following pop-up window

    ensure the Save File radio button is depressed and click OK.

    This file should start downloading in your standard download folder. This file is about 200 Mb so it might take a while to download fully if you are on a slow internet connection (it took me a few minutes over a cable modem). Don't worry about the exact time as long as the download continues to make steady progress.

    After the download has finished, terminate the window browsing the Eclipse download.

  4. Move this file to a more permanent location, so that you can install Eclipse (and reinstall it later, if necessary).
  5. Start the Installing instructions directly below.

Installing (for Python)

Python and Java should be installed before installing Eclipse
  1. Unzip eclipse-standard-luna-R-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz by double-clicking it.

    Unzipping this file creates a folder named eclipse; unzipping 200 MB can take a few minutes. You can leave this folder here or move it elsewhere on your hard disk.

  2. Create an alias on the desktop to to the eclipse file in this eclipse folder:
    On the Mac, you can
    • Control-click the file eclipse.exe
    • Select the Make Alias option.
    • Move it to the desktop.

    Now you are ready to perform a one-time only setup of Eclipse on your machine.

  3. Double-click the alias to Eclipse that you just created above.

    If the following pop-up window appears

    click Open.

    The following splash screen will appear

    and then a Workspace Launcher pop-up window will appear.

    In the Workspace text box, your name should appear between /Users and /Documents, instead of ellenolshansky (I did this on my wife's Mac).

    Leave unchecked the Use this as the default and do not ask again box. Although you will use this same workspace for the entire quarter (checking projects in and out of it), it is best to see this Workspace Launcher pop-up window each time you start Eclipse, to remind you where your workspace is located.
