Installing eclipse (c++) on kubuntu

[KhaLa]

Hello guys,
I'm kind of new to linux and I downloaded eclipse's c++ version http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ and I tried to install it on kubuntu but there wasn't any installation manual in it (or a debian file). So if you have any suggestions, they would all would be welcomed,
thnx

I have never done it but have a look in the repos (adept or synaptic) it should be there.

At least it is with Intrepid.

Edit: always check the repos first there a few 1000 apps there

sudo apt-get install eclipse

Should do the job. I don't know what version they are up to yet.

There is only the java version in adept,

Anywayz I'm not obsessed with eclipse, any c++ compiling program would do the job (I think I should first install gcc maybe?)
I used to use microsoft's visual c++, shortly; I just want to compile my code with a window application that's all
(I know I can compile my code in shell, which isn't what I want to do)

c/c++ for Eclipse is an add on. You add the eclipse updater to the c/c++ update site and it installs it for you.

Or simply download the zip, extract and run in a location of your choice in your home folder:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads

It's 3.4 in the wild, which is the version I use for work.
