# Installing R4E

## 1) Provision Software Sites

R4E uses some Mylyn components so you will need to add the Mylyn Release update site.

Add the following Software Sites to the Eclipse workspace (Help -> Install New Software -> Add)

Mylyn Release: http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/releases/latest

Mylyn Reviews R4E Updates: http://download.eclipse.org/r4e/updates/

if Subversion is to be used, add the subclipse site of the subclipse version you want to use e.g. http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x

## 2) Install Version Control System Features

R4E uses Mylyn Versions to interact with different version control systems.

- Git: Git support is provided by interfacing with Egit/Jgit, Installing the R4E feature automatically installs Egit/Jgit if it's not yet available in the Eclipse installation.So no specific action is needed for Egit installation in this step.

- Subversion (SVN): If there is a need to interact with an SVN repository, install the subclipse feature.Help -> Install New Software, and select the subclipse site provisioned above.

## 3) Install R4E feature

Help -> Install New Software, and select the Mylyn Reviews site provisioned above.

## 4) Install Versions Connectors

Help -> Install New Software, and select the Mylyn Versions site provisioned above.
Select the connector(s) needed to interface your version control system(s).
currently, R4E supports Git and Subclipse connectors.
