-AlphaZ has been only tested on Linux 64 bits and MacOs.+AlphaZ has been only tested on 64 bit Linux and MacOS. There are several options that can be used to get a working eclipse instance with AlphaZ installed.
  
-=====Eclipse Setup for CSU students ===== +===== Option 1 - Eclipse Setup on CS Department Machines ===== 
-The eclipse environment with all necessary plug-ins is available in the AlphaZ project directory. The following script will start the eclipse with AlphaZ installed.\\+You must be a CSU student with access to the CS deparment machines to do this. An eclipse environment with all necessary plug-ins is available in the AlphaZ project directory. Run the following in a bash terminal to add the AlphaZ project directory to your path:
 <code bash> <code bash>
-#!/bin/bash+echo 'export PATH=/s/chopin/h/proj/AlphaZ/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc 
 +source ~/.bashrc 
 +</code>
  
-#Path to the eclipse -- should NOT be changed +Then launch Eclipse with the following command

-Save the above script as ''eclipse.custom'' on your home directory (say as ~/eclipse.custom) and run it (don't forget to give execute permission to the script). 
  
-=====Eclipse Setup for External Environment =====+===== Option 2 - Eclipse Setup using Local Install ===== 
 +Alternatively, you can install eclipse on your own machine and manually install the AlphaZ plugins directly. 
 +See the README in the AlphaZ git repo: \\ 
 +https://github.com/CSU-CS-Melange/AlphaZ
  
-Bundles for other environments are available under ''http://www.cs.colostate.edu/AlphaZ/bundles/''. \\ 
-Simply download the archive for your OS/architecture and extract its content.\\ 
-AlphaZ bundle will be also automatically updated. 
  
 +=====Checking out Sample Project======
 +To get started with AlphaZ, a Java plug-in project with examples can be checked out from our repository. From Eclipse, do the following:
 +  - ''File'' > ''Import...'' > ''Git''> ''Projects from Git'' > click ''Next'' > ''Clone URI'' > click ''Next''
 +  - In the ''URI:'' field, specify ''https://github.com/CSU-CS-Melange/AlphaZ'' > click ''Next'' and follow the prompts with defaults until you reach the "Import Projects" step
 +  - Click ''Deselect All'' > select the ''edu.csu.melange.alphabets.examples'' project from the list > click ''Finish''
  
  
-=====Eclipse Setup Using Plugins===== 
- 
-  - AlphaZ requires Java 8 or later and a Unix system (Linux or Mac OSX). If Java 8 is not installed on your machine, install Java from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-jsp-138363.html.  
-  - Download Eclipse (Oxygen - 4.7.1) at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ (Eclipse IDE for Java Developers for your platform) 
-  - Launch Eclipse 
-  - Go to Help -> Install New Software 
-  - In "Work with" text box, copy/paste the following URL: https://www.cs.colostate.edu/AlphaZ/update-sites/oxygen/site.xml (Oxygen - 4.7.1 is the current version of Eclipse. For older versions of Eclipse use URL: https://www.cs.colostate.edu/AlphaZ/update-sites/<target>/site.xml where <target> is code name of the Eclipse distribution. i.e., neon). 
-  - You should see several items including "AlphaZ Environment" and "AlphaZ Features". 
-  - Alphaz Environment has all the features required for AlphaZ 
-  - AlphaZ Features only have the features developed at CSU 
-  - Install "AlphaZ Environment". 
-  - Hit next until Eclipse start installing the bundle. 
-  - Restart Eclipse. 
-  - To be able to check out project through svn with eclipse, please install the corresponding subeclipse plugins using update-site  https://dl.bintray.com/subclipse/releases/subclipse/latest/. /*All links that correspond to different versions of subeclipse is available on webpage http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectProcess?pageID=p4wYuA. Go to Help->Install New Software, and copy the corresponding URL in the "Work with" form, and install all the plugins. */

 ===== Common Pitfalls=== ===== Common Pitfalls===
- 
- 
-You may have some error connecting to the repository through eclipse 
-  * When you run a *.cs file, if you see an error containing "com.google.common" then try again after removing "com.google.guava_21.0.0.v20170206-1425.jar" file from Eclipse/plugins directory. 
-  * When your connection gets lost while trying to connect: 
-     * Go to ''"Preferences→Team→SVN"'' and change the SVN interface to ''"SVNKit(Pure Java)"'' and try again. 
-     * The default SVN interface uses JNI bindings and it may not work depending on the machine. Pure Java version should.
