| |
| − | The first step is to get Fedora Linux working on your machine. This should be a simple process for most people. I once had a really hard time installing Fedora 11 on an HP laptop (you can the details in my blog) but then I tried Fedora 12 and it worked perfectly right from the install CD.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In this tutorial I started with a fresh install of Fedora 12 running on a Macbook Pro using Parallels Desktop 5.

| − | == Getting Java Stuff ==

| |
| − | Go to System > Administration > Add/Remove Software
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Selecting Add/Remove Software will give you the following screen…
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I noticed that selecting "All Packages" did not do anything right away. I assume it's because there are so many packages that could be downloaded.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As much as I'd love to get everything and try it all, my goal is to get Eclipse working, so I narrowed my search by typing "java" in the Find field.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are a lot of packages with the word "Java" in them. I selected a package and "Java"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | and another called "Java Development".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I clicked on "Apply" and then the following screen came up.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I clicked on install. A "Downloading packages" message appeared toward the lower left of the screen.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | after about 20 minutes the message changed to "Installing packages".

| |
| − | Eventually it was finished. Then (just out of curiosity) I tried to search for Eclipse, and I found a bunch of things…
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Again, it's tempting to download everything, but for now I just selected these two.
| |

| |
| − |
| |

| |
| − | Once again the "Downloading packages" message appeared.
