Notice: Atelier has been deprecated, and no new changes, bug reports, or fixes will be made to this IDE.

To check if you already have Java installed, and if so what version, enter this command in an OS Terminal: java –version
To install Java for the first time, a newer version of Java, or a different bitness of Java (Java bitness should match the Eclipse bitness) check the Oracle website: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

Go to the Eclipse Photon R download page at the Eclipse website: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/photon/r.
On this page, find the package you want to install. We suggest you install Eclipse IDE for JavaScript and Web Developers which includes essential tools for JavaScript, HTML, CSS and XML languages support. You can always add or remove plugins later.
