You just unpack it. There should be an executable called eclipse. Just run that.

You may also want to ensure java is installed on your Ubuntu.

  • I've a fresh ubuntu install, and I'm totally new at Linux. How does one insure everything is installed. I get a message that says Java isn't installed, but when I attempt to install java (the bin) it seems to unpack correctly. Is it installed. – baash05 Mar 17 '11 at 00:13
