launching IntelliJ in terminal is "idea . "

I am new to Eclipse, does this mean I downloaded the IDE wrong? Does Eclipse not have terminal/command line support?

There should be an "eclipse" binary in what you downloaded--usually all lowercase. – nitind Nov 27 '22 at 01:19

on macOS Eclipse installs as a proper Mac application, like all apps you use the `open` command - `open -a Eclipse` – greg-449 Nov 27 '22 at 08:28

The binary may not be added to PATH. Have you checked if it is at e.g. `/opt/eclipse/eclipse-4.2/eclipse`? – Taylor G. Nov 27 '22 at 13:34

First of all, download it from the official site:
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/
If you love the shell, download the tar.gz not the installer:
eclipse-java-2022-09-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
Uncompress it and you will see the executable file
Then open a shell with java available and run
./eclipse
Eclipse will be opened
Same steps should be work on mac and windows.
java
Latest version had java included, but If you had an error related to missing java, you don't need to install it. Just download it and export these variables in the shell
export JAVA_HOME=/home/foo/Apps/openjdk-aaa-bbb
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
