getting error while installing eclipse in my system

Question

I am following this article for installing Eclipse in my linux system. How to install Eclipse?

i extracted the eclipse.tar.gz
sudo -i
cp -r eclipse /opt

in the 3rd step i am getting this error.

cp: cannot stat `eclipse': No such file or directory

the real name of the tar file was eclipse-standard-kepler-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz which i renamed to eclipse.tar.gz

what i am doing wrong?thanks in advance.

Exit out of the root by running exit command.
Then run,
```
sudo cp -r eclipse /opt
```
After that,login into root account by,
```
sudo -i
```
Then follow from the 4th step in this.

This is because after you logged in as root by running sudo -i command,the copy command cp searches for eclipse directory inside the /root folder.But you actually extracted eclipse into the /home/$USER folder.
