Eclipse, a versatile IDE primarily for Java, offers a robust platform for crafting applications
across various languages like C/C++, Python, and Ruby. Its intuitive interface, code
assistance features, and plugin extensibility make it a developer’s go-to choice, including
on Ubuntu 24.04.
This tutorial will teach you the step-by-step instructions for installing Eclipse IDE on
Ubuntu 24.04.
How to Install Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu 24.04
To install the Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu 24.04 follow the below methods:
Installing Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu 24.04 Using tar.gz File (Official)
Eclipse IDE offers downloadable tar.gz files tailored for specific programming languages.
This flexibility allows for customized installations.
2/16
For installing Eclipse on Ubuntu 24.04 using the tar.gz File, follow the detailed steps
below.
Step 1: Download Eclipse Source File
To start, access your Ubuntu web browser and go to the Eclipse website. From there,
locate and download the Eclipse Installer specifically designed for Linux systems with
x86_64 architecture:
A new download window will appear. From there, locate and click the “Download” button
to obtain the Eclipse Installer tar.gz file:
You can also obtain the latest Eclipse Installer (version 2023-12 at the time of writing) by
directly downloading it using the following wget command:
wget https://mirror.kakao.com/eclipse/oomph/epp/2024-03/R/eclipse-inst-jre-
linux64.tar.gz
3/16
Step 2: Extract Eclipse Source File Content
Once the Eclipse source file has been downloaded, unpack its contents on your Ubuntu
system using the following command:
tar -xzf eclipse-inst-jre-linux64.tar.gz
Executing the command will create a new folder named “eclipse-installer” in your current
directory. Users can also verify this by listing the contents of the directory through the “ls”
command:
ls
Step 3: Run Eclipse Installer
4/16
Now, move to the eclipse-installer folder via the cd command:
cd eclipse-installer
After that, execute the Eclipse installer file by mentioning the name “eclipse-inst” as
below:
./eclipse-inst
The Eclipse installer presents multiple IDE options; for this guide, we’ll use the Eclipse
IDE tailored for Java development:
Step 4: Install Eclipse on Ubuntu

This is all about the installation of the latest Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu 24.04 from the tar.gz
file.

in)
10/16
You can quickly install the latest Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu 24.04 by using the Snap Store.

Store by using below command:
sudo snap run eclipse
It takes some time and displays the interface as below:
11/16
For removing the Eclipse IDE through the Snap Store, execute the below command:

in)

done using the below provided steps:
Step 1: Begin by accessing the App Center application from your desktop or applications
menu:

menu:
That is all from the installation of Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu 24.04.
