How to install Magnolia

1. Setting up Eclipse for Magnolia

Note the Eclipse version.

Make the catalogue "Magnolia". This is recommended, but not necessary.

Download Eclipse from ​http://www.eclipse.org/downloads Choose Eclipse RCP/Plug-in Developers 3.5 32-bit Java with 32-bit Eclipse (These choices will make sense when you see the Eclipse website.) Download the package to the newly created Magnolia catalogue.

Go to a terminal and move to the catalogue Magnolia. Unpack Eclipse by writing "tar xzvf [name of downloaded package]" in a terminal.

If you have 64-bit Linux installed on your machine, skip this next step. Otherwise (if you have 32-bit Linux) open the file eclipse.ini in the newly unpackaged catalogue and change the line containing "-vmargs" from "-vmargs" to -"vmargs -Xss8m". You can open the eclipse.ini file in e.g. Emacs.

If you have 64-bit Linux or another operating system these settings will be changed later in the installation procedure.
