Installing the PyDev Python IDE for Eclipse

Installing and setting up PyDev is very similar to PyCharm. To install it, first download LiClipse, which is available as a compressed archive from https://www.liclipse.com/download.html:

Select the appropriate file for your platform and architecture:

Once you have downloaded the file, you can use the following commands to set it up after opening the Terminal from the same location, as we saw for PyCharm earlier:

$ tar -xvzf liclipse_5.1.3_linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz --directory /opt
$ echo 'export LICLIPSE=/opt/liclipse' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$LICLIPSE' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'alias liclipse=$LICLIPSE/bin/./LiClipse' >> ~/.bashrc
$ . ~/.bashrc

Note that in the fourth command, LiClipse is case-sensitive. So, ensure that L and C are in capital letters.

Now, you can launch LiClipse...
