  • Unzip it in a directory of your choosing.
  • The executable is in the unzipped directory: eclipse (Linux), Eclipse (Mac), or eclipse.exe (Windows)

  • Hit Next
  • For the "URI:", use: git://github.com/relevance/labrepl.git
  • Hit Next twice

  • Go to File > Import ... > Maven > Existing Maven Projects
  • Hit Next
