Linux Mint - Support Guide: Installation

Open Terminal

    • Launch | Applications | Utilities | Terminal
    • Right Click – Open Terminal
      • Sudo apt install eclipse-platform
      • As long as you know what you are doing - and as you are an admin we dare assume this is the case - there is no ill side effect of executing sudo su. It simply gives you a root shell.
      • In daily life when I have to execute one or two commands with root privileges, I will use sudo or gksudo, as appropriate. In the less frequent cases where I have to run a serious of commands with root privileges, I will not hesitate to get myself into a root shell by executing sudo -i.
