Hey,

 

So I've been attempting to install a C++ IDE called Eclipse on my system, so I can start learning how to code, although I don't know how to properly install it.
I have the zip package, but I don't know where to go from there.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! ^_^

If you want a nicer and more feature rich environment then you might like to consider Visual Studio and/or CLion. The use cases for Eclipse are becoming more niche as it becomes increasingly outdated and outpaced by better alternatives in different arenas.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

I dont really agree with Visual Studio as suitable IDE for a beginner, sure you can get a program and have it run quickly but you are bogged down with tonnes of autogenerated nonsense if you are unfamiliar. 

 

Eclipse is well known throughout industry, has many of the same features as Visual Studio without confusing matters with autogenerated code.
