Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you a new VS
0:04
code alternative which is quite fast.
0:06
It's called as Eclipse
0:09
Thea IDE. So it is developed by the
0:11
Eclipse company and uh it's available
0:15
for cloud and desktop versions. It's
0:17
totally open source. You can visit their
0:19
GitHub page.
0:22
So if you don't want to use GitHub
0:26
VS Code, you can definitely try out
0:28
this. It's got almost 21,000 stars on
0:31
GitHub. So there is its download button
0:34
which is there. It's available for
0:36
crossplatform Linux, Mac. So simply
0:40
select your operating system. Click the
0:42
download button and it's round about 328
0:46
MB. So the size is I think it's similar
0:50
to VS code but I personally tried this
0:53
IDE which is quite fast. It has all the
0:57
functionalities of VS Code. You can
0:59
install extensions as well, plugins,
1:03
third party plugins.
1:07
So just wait for the downloading to
1:10
complete. It's round about 328 mgabytes.
1:17
And it's basically developed by Eclipse,
1:20
which is a very famous company for IDE.
1:25
This is the name Eclipse. If you just go
1:28
Eclipse
1:33
just search for this, you will see this
1:37
will come right here. The very first
1:39
link. It's an open-source cloud and
1:41
desktop IDE.
1:47
It's not a fork of VS Code. That's why
1:50
it's a great alternative. So
1:54
and if you see if it's free.
1:57
So it's totally free and open-source
1:59
software project similar to VS Code. So
2:01
it's not a paid solution at all. So once
2:03
you install it inside your system, it is
2:06
completely free.
2:09
So,
2:18
so just wait for the installations to
2:21
complete
2:50
So when it completes it will launch
2:52
automatically the setup file.
3:19
So now it completes you will done the
3:22
setup file
3:33
select
3:35
and
3:36
867 mgaby minimum space required for
3:40
this.
3:49
So the space requirement is similar to
3:51
VS code. VS code is a little bit larger
3:55
around about uh 2 GB. This is 867 MGB.
4:42
So now after installing it you will have
4:44
this finish button. Simply click on that
4:47
and then it will launch this IDE.
4:54
If if it doesn't launch, you can also
4:56
search
5:30
basically installs right here. You can
5:33
go to this location if it doesn't launch
5:35
automatically. Simply copy this location
5:37
and paste it.
5:40
So this is where it is installed.
5:43
Simply just need to manually click the
5:45
install and then it will launch. So some
5:48
applications automatically launch but
5:50
this one you need to explicitly click
5:53
and then this will launch.
5:56
This is the IDE. So you can see that. So
5:59
this is a welcome message. And here you
6:02
can open a new folder. It's similar to
6:05
VS code
6:07
some UI design.
6:16
You select the folder that you want to
6:18
open. So after you select the folder,
6:20
the files will get opened.
6:23
You can create a new file. This will
6:26
look something like this. So you can
6:27
just name your file.
6:33
So you will basically get all the
6:34
autocompletions which are there.
6:41
So I think it works similar to VS code
6:44
but little bit faster and it is having
6:48
this light theme. So you do have this
6:50
option to extensions
6:53
and control shiftp opens your command
6:56
pallet. So all the shortcuts are similar
6:58
to VS code.
7:01
So these are your extensions. You can
7:03
actually install
7:07
any third party extension.
7:10
You can see all the
7:15
so this live preview extension is also
7:17
available in VS code. So it's similar to
7:20
right here as well. So simply click
7:22
install and this will install this
7:24
extension for you. So if you are looking
7:27
for a alternative you can definitely
7:29
install this. It's completely free.
7:31
Eclipse the ID
7:34
and uh
7:36
some things are little bit different but
7:38
majority of the things are similar to VS
7:41
code how you actually generate or write
7:45
code.
7:48
So definitely check out this. This is
7:50
your live preview section.
7:59
