Installation of eclipse php in ubuntu

Question

How to install eclipse php in ubuntu platform using apt get install. Any other utilities are required to do that

Answer 1

The simplest solution, which will allow you to have the latest version, would be to :

• go to http://eclipse.org/pdt/
• download the lastest version (icon on the right)
• Choose the "PDT 2.1 All In Ones / Eclipse PHP Package" package that's OK for you : Linux x86, 32 or 64 bits
• download that package
• unzip it
• and voila, you can run Eclipse PDT

Advantages :

• last version
• doesn't require root privileges

I'm always using this solution, because new versions of Eclipse PDT generally bring nice enhancements, and are not integrated on the Ubuntu repositories before a long time passes... And I've never had any problem with this solution.
