How to Install Eclipse and PHP Eclipse plugin in Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10
November 5, 2007
Eclipse is the best IDE to develop JAVA programs under Linux and Windows. Is possible to use Eclipse as an IDE to deveolp PHP Application and Scripts. There is another fantastic IDE to deveolp PHP Application: “Zend Studio”, but I think that PHP Eclipse is good for every needs. Also, Zend Studio is a commercial software so, I think that PHP Eclipse is better than Zend Studio.
Installation of Eclipse in Ubuntu Gutsy 7.1 is very simple:
sudo -i (to became root user)
apt-get update
apt-get install eclipse
When download and installation is finished, you can configure and install PHP Eclipse Plugin.
From: Application Menù > Development Tools > Eclipse , you can start Eclipse IDE Application.
In your Eclipse Interface search: Help > Software Updates > Find and Install… > Search for new features to install.
Now you have to add a “New Remote Site” and add this url: http://phpeclipse.sourceforge.net/update/releases
Eclipse will search for software updates, install PHP Eclipse plugin and then you have to restart it!
You can use PHP Eclipse selecting a new project called “PHP Project”.
