software-installation eclipse c++ eclipse-cdt

  1. Open the terminal and type:

    sudo apt update  
sudo apt install ubuntu-make g++
umake ide eclipse-cpp

    To launch Eclipse click the Eclipse CPP icon in the Dash or launch Eclipse CPP from the terminal with the following command:

    eclipse-cpp

    On the first launch, you'll be asked to select the workspace directory. The default workspace directory should work just fine.

    Cevelop is a free C++ IDE for professional developers which is based on Eclipse. Cevelop extends Eclipse CDT with many additional features: CUTE unit testing with Test Driven Development support, new refactorings and quick fixes, and much more.

    To install Cevelop in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

    sudo snap install cevelop --beta --classic

  2. For the latest version the binary file name could be eclipse.

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lyzardking/ubuntu-make
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-make

umake  --list-available # check the list 
umake ide eclipse-cpp

    Then check the binary file name: $HOME/.local/share/umake/ide/eclipse-cpp/ (default). Then write this to your .bashrc and good to go: export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/umake/ide/eclipse-cpp/:$PATH"

    $ exec bash
$ eclipse
