How to install eclipse php in ubuntu platform using apt get install. Any other utilities are required to do that

+5  A: 

Hi,

The simplest solution, which will allow you to have the latest version, would be to :

  • go to http://eclipse.org/pdt/
  • download the lastest version (icon on the right)
  • Choose the "PDT 2.1 All In Ones / Eclipse PHP Package" package that's OK for you : Linux x86, 32 or 64 bits
  • download that package
  • unzip it
  • and voila, you can run Eclipse PDT

Advantages :

  • last version
  • doesn't require root privileges

I'm always using this solution, because new versions of Eclipse PDT generally bring nice enhancements, and are not integrated on the Ubuntu repositories before a long time passes... And I've never had any problem with this solution.

Don't! Don't use apt-get for Eclipse. Instead, follow these steps to install it "manually".
