retrieve a copy of the repository

create (or move to) the directory which will contain your genlab workspace, for instance:

 $ cd ~/workspaceJunoRCP

clone the repo:

  $ git clone https://github.com/samthiriot/genlab.git

move into it:

 $ cd ~/workspaceJunoRCP/genlab

now start eclipse Juno RCP; as a workspace, select ~/workspaceJunoRCP/genlab (NOT ~/workspaceJunoRCP/).

Once Eclipse is launched: File -> Import -> Existing Projects into workspace and select all the genlab plugins
