You will see the following page (don't worry about the name of the institution underneath the orange DOWNLOAD button).
Click the orange DOWNLOAD button. The site named here, in orange, underneath the DOWNLOAD button: United States - Indiana Unversity (http) is the random one chosen by the download page this time; yours may differ.
This file should start downloading in your standard download folder. This file is about 200 Mb so it might take a while to download fully if you are on a slow internet connection (it took me about 5 minutes over a cable modem). Don't worry about the exact time as long as the download continues to make steady progress. In Chrome progress is shown on the bottom-left of the window, via the icon
The file should appear as
Terminate the window browsing the Eclipse download.
Move this file to a more permanent location, so that you can install Eclipse (and reinstall it later, if necessary).
Start the Installing instructions directly below.

Installing

Double click the file eclipse-cpp-mars-R-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz, the file that you just downloaded and moved. It will unzip the file and create an Eclipse application, which appears as
Move this application into the Applications folder and put it on the dock for simple access. Now you are ready to perform a one-time only setup of Eclipse on your machine.
Double-click the Eclipse icon on the Dock that you just created above.
The following pop-up window will appear
(note it says Eclipse Cpp here, because I already have Eclipse installed for my work with Python, so on my machine I renamed this application Eclipse Cpp.
Click Open.
The following splash screen will appear
and then a Workspace Launcher pop-up window will appear.
In the Workspace text box, your login name should appear between /users and /Documentsworkspace, instead of my name, richardepattis.
Leave unchecked the Use this as the default and do not ask again box. Although you will use this same workspace for the entire quarter (checking projects in and out of it), it is best to see this Workspace Launcher pop-up window each time you start Eclipse, to remind you where your workspace is located.
Click OK.
Progress bars will appear at the bottom of the spash screen as Eclipse loads.
Eventually the Eclipse workbench will appear with a Welcome tab covering it.
Terminate (click X on) the Welcome tab.
You will not see the Welcome tab when you start Eclipse after this first time. You should now see the following Eclipse workbench.
