Eclipse Download and Installation
(for Python) Instructions
On my machine (running Windows 7), I can
- Right-click the file.
- Hover over the IZArc command from the menu of options.
- Click Extract Here
If you do not have IZArc or an equivalent unzipping program, here is the web site to download a free copy of IZarc.
Unzipping this file creates a folder named eclipse; unzipping MB can take a few minutes. You can leave this folder here or move it elsewhere on your hard disk. I recommend putting the downloaded file and resulting folder in the C:\Program Files\ directory.
On most Windows machines, you can
- Right-press the file rushbrookrathbone.co.uk
- Drag it to the desktop.
- Release the right button.
- Click Create shortcut here
Now you are ready to perform a one-time only setup of Eclipse on your machine.
The following splash screen will appear
and then an Eclipse Launcher pop-up window will appear.
In the Workspace text box, your name should appear between C:\Users\ and \eclipse-workspace, instead of Pattis.
Leave unchecked the Use this as the default and do not ask again box. Although you will use this same workspace for the entire quarter (checking projects in and out of it), it is best to see this Workspace Launcher pop-up window each time you start Eclipse, to remind you where your workspace is located.
In fact, it is a good idea to create on your desktop a shortcut to your workspace folder; but you must click OK (see below) before Eclipse creates this folder and you can create a shortcut to it.
Progress bars will appear as Eclipse loads.
Eventually the Eclipse workbench will appear with a Welcome tab covering it.
You will not see the Welcome tab when you start Eclipse again, after this first time.
The Install pop-up window will appear.
In a few seconds the information under Name should change from

Select the I accept the terms of the license agreement radio button, so the window appears as
The lower right-hand corner of the eclipse-workspace - Eclipse window will show the various operations it is performing and a progress bar for each one.
Because the installer is fetching various files online, this process might take a few minutes.
If you see a Security Warning pop-up window
Click Install anyway.
The installation will finish (the progress bar will disappear).
A Software Updates pop-up window will appear.
Eclipse will terminate and restart. As you did in step 4, terminate (click OK on) the Welcome Tab.

Change the Name in the Select Interpreter pop-up window to be simply Python36 (or whatever version of Python is installed). The Select Interpreter pop-up window should appear as
A Selection needed pop-up window will appear.
Actually, your window should have only the 4 AppData\Local checkboxes; don't worry if the AppData\Roaming one (4th of 5 in this window) is absent.
The Preferences pop-up window will be changed to
On my system the path to the Python interpreter was so long, not all of it could be seen under Location
A Progress Information pop-up window will appear.
During installation, it will show the various operations it is performing and a progress bar for each one. Eventually the installation will terminate.
If the following pop-up window appears
Ensure the "Public networks, such as those in airports" checkbox is NOT checked, and then click Allow Access.
The Open Perspective pop-up window will appear.
The Package Explorer in the upper-left tab will change to PyDev Package Explorer, and a Python icon will appear to the right of the Java icon (on the far right).
The Eclipse workbench will now have only the PyDev icon here and will look like
- Select Window | Preferences.

Notice a sixth entry (C:\Users\yourname\eclipse-workspace\courselib>) appears in the bottom-right pane named System PYTHONPATH. Reorder with Drag & Drop. - Click Apply (you will see some progress bars)
