-----------------------------

1. Install the [PyDev plugin][pydev] and Eclipse if you don't already have them.

It's been tested with PyDev 4.5.5, Eclipse 4.4, Python 2.7 and 3.4. It
seems to be particularly sensitive to changes in PyDev.
2. Download the latest version of the live-py plugin jar file from the
[releases page][releases].
3. Copy the plugin jar file to Eclipse's dropins folder. On my workstation I
was able to do that in two different ways.
1. Copy it to the system-wide Eclipse installation.

sudo cp live-py_2.0.0.201209171018.jar /usr/lib/eclipse/dropins/
2. Copy it to your `.eclipse` folder in your home directory. This doesn't
require sudo permission.

mkdir ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_155965261/dropins
cp live-py_2.0.0.201209171018.jar \
~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_155965261/dropins
2. In Eclipse, choose Help: Eclipse Marketplace... from the menu.
3. Search for Live Coding in Python, and install it.
4. Restart Eclipse.
5. Open any Python file, and from the Live Coding menu, choose Start Live Coding.
You should see an extra panel on the right that shows the results of running
your code.
6. To try the turtle graphics features, open the Window menu, and choose
Show View: Other.... Then under PyDev, click Live Coding Canvas and click OK.

If you don't want to use the Eclipse marketplace, you can also install from the
[update site][update].
