# Installing

In order for the Specfile Editor Plug-in for Eclipse to work, you should have the `rpmlint` package installed.

Once the `rpmlint` package is installed, the easiest way to install the Specfile Editor plug-in for Eclipse is through the Software Updates and Add-ons menu. For information on how to use this menu, refer to http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/PluginInstallHelp.

The `createrepo` package needs to be installed for the `createrepo` features to work as intended. Specfile Editor Plug-in for Eclipse will continue to work even without the `createrepo` command not installed. However, if installed, do note that a `yum` version of 3.2.23 or higher is required to use the command to its full extent.
