You don't need to do any special thing; just extract from the archive to some directory and launch ./eclipse from there.

  • I did it. It returned "The program 'eclipse' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:sudo apt-get install eclipse-platform". After I wrote "sudo apt-get install eclipse-platform" it re turned :"E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" – saman May 08 '12 at 07:18
  • Have you wrote "eclipse" or "./eclipse" in the terminal? – Anton May 08 '12 at 07:39
  • Also, the error "E: Could not ..." happens because another installation is running on the same moment (just wait) or apt-get is stuck(and now you need to fix this) – Anton May 08 '12 at 07:51
  • I wrote "./eclipse /home/es/Desktop" in terminal. Now it returns : "No such file or directory" – saman May 08 '12 at 08:25
  • cd /home/es/Desktop && ./eclipse – Anton May 08 '12 at 21:36

The Process mentioned by Anton & Alvar is Correct, if it still not working then there may be two things

1>the downloaded file may be corrupted.

2>you don't have the file permission in that directory.

One more thing check JDK is installed on your system or not?

  • Permission isn't changeable. Do you know why? – saman May 08 '12 at 08:55
  • Suppose you extracted archive file in /home/username/,then open terminal and goto /home/username/ and Try using sudo chmod -R 777 eclipse. i am sure it will work. Otherwise extract it again. – Sumant May 08 '12 at 10:53
  • You should be on a administrator account. This might not work if you are on guest or standard account. Do all installation using the Administrator account. – Curious Apprentice May 08 '12 at 13:29
  • Check JDK is working or not. OpenJDK also works fine. Commands are java and javac – Curious Apprentice May 08 '12 at 13:30
