Note

This script was developed in order to cover personal needs and it is by nomean guaranteed to work properly on every system.

Execution

There are two ways that you can execute this script.

  • 1st way:
sudo ./installEclipse.sh

In order to use this way, you have to download the '.tar.gz' file of your choice from eclipse.org and save it inside the Downloads directory of your account. After download is finished, run the command. During execution you will be asked to enter your username (username@host), in order for the script to enter /home/username/Downloads/ and search for the '.tar.gz' file to be installed.

  • 2nd way:
sudo ./installEclipse.sh [absolute-path-of-directory]

This way allows you to provide the absolute path of the directory containing the '.tar.gz' file as a command line argument, in order to override the default option.

Command example:

sudo ./installEclipse.sh /home/gzachos/Desktop/

In case more than one '_.tar.gz_' files exist inside the specified directory, you will be prompted just like it is shown in the screenshot below, to choose the one you want to be installed.
