Install Java and Eclipse

1. Java SE Download. Under SE Downloads, choose Java Download. Accept the license agreement, and choose the Java SE 8u60 -- JDK download (not Server JRE or JRE) for your platform (PC, Mac, or Linux). Downloading the demos and samples is optional.



2. Eclipse

   Eclipse is a sophisticated IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that is used by many software development professionals.

• Download Eclipse

  Go to the Eclipse download page . Select Eclipse IDE for Java Developers . Choose your platform (Mac, PC, Linux). For any platform, You'll probably want the 64-bit version.

  Click on the green arrow. This will download a .zip file (it's very large, so it may take awhile to download).

• Unzip the download file

  Unzip it to C:\ on windows or /Applications on OSX. Do not unzip to C:\Program Files, or any other directory that requires administrator privileges. After you have unzipped, you can move the eclipse directory to C:\Program Files if you wish.

  The Eclipse application (executable) will appear in this folder. You may wish to create a shortcut and place it on your desktop.

  The first time you run eclipse on OSX, the system may ask you if you want to install Java. Say yes.
