Step 1: Choose Your Interpreter

To begin, you need to choose your Python interpreter. Go to the PyDev options under the 'Interpreter - Python' section and select 'New.' This will allow you to specify the location of your Python executable file (python.exe or python on Linux).

Step 3: Install Eclipse

If you don't have Eclipse installed, you'll need to download it. It's recommended to install the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, which comes with Web Tools.

Tips and Troubleshooting

* If you're using Ubuntu 9.10, be aware that some Eclipse buttons may seem unresponsive or the PyDev package may not appear after adding the /updates site. Check the button and location fields carefully.

* Make sure to download the correct version of Eclipse for your operating system.

With these simple steps, you should now have PyDev installed on your computer. Enjoy developing with Python using this powerful development environment!
