Download
To download and install Epsilon in your machine please follow the steps below:Step 1: Download Eclipse
The development tools of Epsilon come as a set of Eclipse plugins and therefore, to install Epsilon you need to download and install Java 1.5+ and Eclipse (including GMF and EMF) first. The Eclipse Galileo Modeling Tools distribution contains all the necessary prerequisites for Epsilon and is available for the following platforms:
Step 2: Download Epsilon
Once you have installed Eclipse, there are three alternative options for installing Epsilon: you can install the binaries using the Eclipse Update Manager / P2, download and install the binaries manually, or work directly with the source code from the Eclipse SVN server.
-
Eclipse Update Manager:
You can use the following update sites and the instructions provided here to install the Epsilon binaries through the Eclipse update manager.
This is the recommended option as it allows you to easily update to the latest version of Epsilon.
Stable update site : http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmt/epsilon/updates/
Interim update site : http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmt/epsilon/interim/
Note: It typically takes anything from 30mins to 2hrs from the time a new version is uploaded until it becomes available for download. During that time you may encounter errors in the Update Manager so please allow some time and try again. If problems seem to persist please let us know by sending a message to the Epsilon forum.
-
Binaries:
A zip-file containing the features and plugins of Epsilon (please refer to the Installing Epsilon Offline section of the
installation guide
for instructions on how to install Epsilon from this zip-file).
-
Source code:
This article describes how you can obtain the latest version of the source code of Epsilon from the Eclipse SVN server.
SVN Repository: http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.gmt.epsilon/
Step 3 (optional): Download Emfatic
The last (optional but highly recommended) step is to install Emfatic, a tool that provides a convenient textual notation for specifying Ecore metamodels. To install Emfatic you can use the following update site:
