This page provides the necessary guidelines to install the required software on your personal computer.
OS setup
Software installations guidelines are provided for GNU Linux-based distributions. If your personal computer is not Linux-based, you can install VirtualBox and a virtual Ubuntu OS by using following guide:
Installing the Default JRE/JDK
The easiest option for installing Java is to use the version packaged with Ubuntu. To install it, first update the package index:
sudo apt update
Next, check if Java is already installed:
java -version
If Java is not currently installed, execute the following command to install the default Java Runtime Environment (JRE):
sudo apt install default-jre
The JRE will allow you to run almost all Java software. Verify the installation with:
java -version
You may need the Java Development Kit (JDK) in addition to the JRE in order to compile and run some specific Java-based software. To install the JDK, execute the following command, which will also install the JRE:
sudo apt install default-jdk
Verify that the JDK is installed by checking the version of javac, the Java compiler:
javac -version
Install maven
The apt command provides a simple and straightforward way of installing Maven on Ubuntu. Follow these steps to complete the installation:
Update the system repository using:
sudo apt update
Install Maven from the official repository:
sudo apt install maven
Check the current version of Maven to verify the installation:
mvn -version
Install Ecliple
To install Eclipse, execute the following command:
sudo snap install --classic eclipse
