Instructor: Hey, welcome back.
In this video, I'm gonna show you how
to install Eclipse on Microsoft Windows.
So the first thing we need to do is download Eclipse.
So we can go to the Eclipse website, eclipse.org.
In my browser bar, we have a shortcut setup
that'll take us to eclipse.org.
Now once we're here, this is the main Eclipse website,
or the main Eclipse homepage.
And what I'd like to do is move over to the right hand side,
there's a download button.
I'd like to go ahead and click this download button
so it can take me to the downloads page.
All right, cool, so now we're at the downloads page.
They have a lot of different distributions of Eclipse.
You wanna make sure that you choose the right one.
So if we scroll down the page here,
I'll show you that we wanna make use
of the Java EE package.
All right, so that's the one that's listed here,
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers.
That's the one that we want.
It's very important that you select this distribution
because it has built in support for Java web applications,
servlets, JSP's, and JSF.
All right so, over on the far right,
you can go ahead and download it.
I have a 64 bit Windows operating system here.
I'll go ahead and select the link,
and it'll take me to the list of download options here.
So again, this is one intermediate step,
but you basically just go over to the left hand side
and choose that download link.
This'll actually start downloading Eclipse to your computer.
So they'll prompt us, we'll say save,
and this'll actually start the download process.
And then at the bottom you'll see your browser
will start downloading it.
This'll take a while to download,
depending on your internet speed.
I'll come back once the download is complete.
All right, so the download's complete.
Now we need to unzip Eclipse.
I'm gonna open up my Windows Explorer.
I'm gonna move into the downloads directory.
This is where the file was actually downloaded.
So in downloads, there's a file here called Eclipse JEE,
depending on the version number that you have.
So that's the file that was just downloaded
from the Eclipse website.
What I'd like to do is unzip this file,
so I can do a right click, I'll say extract all,
and now we need to tell it where to extract Eclipse,
or install Eclipse.
So here I'm just gonna use the C drive, so c:\,
so it's gonna install it to the root of the C drive
and it's gonna install it in a folder called Eclipse.
So once you're happy with the c:\, you can click extract.
And actually, you can install it wherever you'd like.
But here just to keep things simple,
I'll put it at the C drive.
All right, great, so now we've extracted it to the C drive,
So I'll go over to local disk C drive,
and there's a new folder here called Eclipse.
That's where the code was placed.
I can move in here now and there's an Eclipse application
with a little icon, and I can double-click this.
This will actually run Eclipse.
I'll say run for the security warning.
It'll start up Eclipse, and it'll start running for us.
Oh, and I forgot, there's one thing.
Eclipse will always prompt you to select a workspace.
So the workspace is basically a folder where you'll store
your actual source code of projects.
So here, I'll just call it my workspace.
You can give it any name you want, and you can place it
at any location that you want on your file system,
but that's the location I'll place mine,
and I'll just call it my workspace.
And once I'm happy with that, I'll go ahead and hit okay.
Okay, great, now Eclipse will really start running,
and we should see the welcome screen real soon now.
Okay, great, so here's our welcome screen.
So they have overview, samples, tutorials, what's new so on.
At this point, I always like to make sure I'm using
the correct version or I downloaded the right version,
the Eclipse Java EE IDE.
Again, we need to make sure we have the Java EE version
because it has built in support for Java web applications.
All right, great, so you can go ahead
and close this welcome window here.
Just click the X at the top left,
and there it is, so this is the basic Eclipse.
Right now, there's no projects, no servers.
It's pretty plain vanilla right now.
And don't worry, as we go through the course,
we'll create projects, we'll create web applications
and deplore them to our servers.
Great job.
