You can then install them by unpacking the distribution in `$ECLIPSE_HOME/dropins` directory.
For more information, please see link:https://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Getting_Started[Equinox/p2] documentation.

=== Install the latest Apache Ivy bundle

Get the latest Apache Ivy build for the updatesite:

* the link:https://builds.apache.org/view/All/job/IvyDE-updatesite/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/trunk/build/[latest successful build]

Then unpack the zip file and use as local update site.

=== Restart Eclipse

After installing your plugins manually, you have to restart your Eclipse to have it take into account the changes. It is recommended to restart it with the `-clean` option on the command line.
