Sometimes the install process complains about JDK required.

Enter the address, choose the packages click next/finish on the following boxes (if you can’t click next then click on accept the license and don’t worry about the warning “unsigned content”):

Install StatET by going to Help > Install new software… (yes, it makes absolutely no sense why you put install new software under help but that’s just one of those things you get used to). Use the 3.1 StatET plugin since the old doesn’t support R-2.15 (use ). I guess this is overdoing it… but yes you need to also have R installed, you can get it here. Choose 32-bit or 64-bit to match your system, if your unsure what to choose then go with the 32-bit since that will always work. I currently use the Eclipse IDE for JavaScript Web Developers since I do a lot of PHP & JavaScript coding but I think the Eclipse Classic should be enough. I always find the number of different Eclipse versions confusing but I don’t think it matters that much which one you choose.
