Hi,

I know, this might be not a question about Bodhi Linux, but I struggle with installing Eclipse. I've installed some packages for Eclipse, but I can not find it in the menu and even not in the shell.

No Eclipse in the menu

You need to install the actual eclipse package. Anything else needed by it will be pulled in automatically.

sudo apt install eclipse

Indeed, my suggestion was not valid for current Bodhi! It appears there is no longer eclipse package in bodhi 6.0 (it is here in 5.1) so you'll have to follow the slightly more complicated instructions the waiter suggested before my bad suggestion! Their method #1, using snap, is not reccommended under Bodhi unless there isn't another option, and in fact is a little tricker under Bodhi than ubuntu because we don't have snapd installed and it's purposely blocked from automatic installation, so the method #2 manual install is probably better. But if you run into any problems following those steps just follow up here.

THX for your hints :-)

I've installed Eclipse manually some times ago for my root account; but currently my try to install it for the standard account fails because it says something like "error: cannot execute the file".

Most answers in the WWW, why this happens do come to the conclusion that it's the wrong installation download, f.e. 32-bit download for a 64-bit system. But I've checked this, I have a 64-Bit Amd and the installation files are for 64-bit linux.

I think you mixed up the very first thing is says for method 2; confusing the package for the installer

I suspect you want to download this: www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/2022-03/R/eclipse-java-2022-03-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Then just follow the instructions to untar it into opt, make the desktop file it says to add it to your menu, and yer good to go. Just follow the instructions exactly, post here if anything doesnt work.

This is no different than adding SeaMonkey web browser or other package that only comes with tarball file.

/opt is always a good choice for the directory in these cases.

You should save the command used for installing tar package for future reference. I have mine in a leafpad file. I can copy and paste the command, and substitute the new package name when needed.
