How to install Eclipse IDE on a Chromebook

on

Today we are looking at how to install Eclipse IDE on a Chromebook.  Please follow the video/audio guide as a tutorial where we explain the process step by step and use the commands below.

If you have any questions, please contact us via a YouTube comment and we would be happy to assist you!

Please take note that with the release of Chrome OS 90,  the location of Linux Apps has been changed in the Chromebook’s settings.  Have a look at this tutorial, to see how to turn on Linux apps and then continue with the installation tutorial.

Please take note that it is a bit glitchy but it does work.

Update: with the release of Chrome OS 120, the Linux container on a Chromebook has been upgraded to a newer version.  This tutorial still works exactly as in the video, however, the first 5 commands are no longer required.  Hope it helps

Commands Used:
1) sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/oldsources.list
2)sudo touch /etc/apt/sources.list
3) sudo echo deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main  | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
4) sudo apt update
5) sudo apt dist-upgrade
6) sudo apt install libnss3 menulibre default-jdk
7) wget https://apprepo.de/appimage/download/eclipse-jdt
8) chmod 755 Eclipse-JDT.AppImage
9) ./Eclipse-JDT.AppImage
10) menulibre
