So you’re ready to get started learning Atlas? Great, let’s get started!
First things first. Let’s download and install Atlas.
Download Eclipse
Atlas is an Eclipse plugin. The current release is compatible with Eclipse Kepler releases on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Download the Eclipse Standard 4.3.2 release for your OS and architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
| OS | 32-bit | 64-bit |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Windows 32-bit | Windows 64-bit |
| Mac | Mac 32-bit | Mac 64-bit |
| Linux | Linux 32-bit | Linux 64-bit |
To stay organized create a folder called Atlas and unzip the eclipse folder from the Eclipse Kepler download into the Atlas folder. In the Atlas folder also create a workspace and git subfolder.
Inside the eclipse folder double click the Eclipse executable icon to launch Eclipse. When Eclipse prompts you for a directory location of your workspace Browse to the workspace folder you created in the Atlas folder and press OK.
Install Atlas
