More commands $ cd #this will change your directory to your "home" directory $ gunzip eclipse-SDK-3.4-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz #unzip the file $ tar -xvf eclipse-SDK-3.4-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar #extract the archive To start the eclipse program, type: $ ./eclipse/eclipse & Click "Ok" for the workspace Click on the arrow on the right hand side to take you to the workbench.
