So you’re ready to get started learning Atlas? Great, let’s get started!
First things first. Let’s download and install Atlas.
Step 1) 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).

---|---|---|
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
.
