So i tried to download / install the eclipse IDE ( i did " sudo apt-get install eclipse " ) it ran normally until it stopped and said "eclipse package not found" do i have to install other packages or something along the lines of that to install eclipse? screenshot of the command i did is below

Get the tgz download from here: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/epp/2024-06/R/eclipse-inst-jre-linux64.tar.gz
Then follow this guide, seems sane enough to me, and I couldn't find a ppa for this on a brief search, so this will be the way: https://www.tecmint.com/eclipse-install-ubuntu/

ah ok, im not sure if eclipse will work on debian 12 though. I saw on a website saying it'll only work on debian 11 and some other debians

Could have been an old website from before 12
Says it needs Java 9 or higher, so I would go with 17
ionic shoal
alright, lemme research a little bit more to see if it'll work on debian 12 ( the current debian i have pretty sure )

hey so i just wanted your help on this and i hope i don't have to open another thread, but i got this error when trying to get to the directory ( Downloads ) and it says there isn't a file but there is a file / folder. i'm assuming i might have to do the command with the actual tgz file to begin downloading the eclipse IDE any help?
wet sphinx
ls -al from that home directory? You might not have a downloads if this is like a raspberry pi
also pwd
ionic shoal
`ls -al` from that home directory? You might not have a downloads if this is lik...
i have a downloads forgot to add the image

i did the ls -al command and got a bunch of files on my chromebook
i see the tgz file / download
let me try something and ill comeback

This is not a good indicator that a folder named Downloads exists in your home directory. When given a command to run, you should report back the output, because right now, I have no more information than I did before.
ionic shoal
ok so i did the pwd command and it gave me this, would you like the ls -al command output as well?
wet sphinx
Yes plz both
In text format of you can
Screenshots of text aren't super helpful either 😦
ionic shoal
one second
the pwd output ( unsure if i did it correctly ) guage2323@penguin:~$ pwd /home/guage2323
and let me get the ls -al

hope this was helpful
i did this as well
pwd Downloads /home/guage2323
whoops
wet sphinx
pwd just prints the working (current) directory. Not sure what it does with arguments, probably drops it entirely. This home directory does not have a Downloads folder, so there's nowhere to cd to.
ionic shoal
ah ok, so where do you think these files are going?
and how can i set up a directory? would they be in the Linux Files?
wet sphinx
I don't want to type out everything that's needed here, but these guys covered it: https://www.pluralsight.com/resources/blog/guides/beginner-linux-navigation-manual
ionic shoal
alright, and once i do what is needed i should be able to install eclipse? ( and i am assuming i will need to put the eclipse file in the directory )
alright so i did pretty much everything i did and then i ran sudo ./eclipse-inst and it gave me no protocol specified ( Text below )
`guage2323@penguin:~/bar/eclipse-installer$ sudo ./eclipse-inst
No protocol specified
Eclipse Installer: Cannot open display:

wet sphinx
That seems like an x / Wayland problem. Check in that installer log file for errors and warnings near the end.
For any more help here, we're gonna start needing details: hardware information, distribution and version, and a list of the commands you've run (directly from your history would be best) to get a duplicate environment set up, and the contents of that installer log.
ionic shoal
okay
i did the log file command and this is the output
