| | 121 | - This section will explain how to set up SansView in Eclipse because it's the most commonly used open-source IDE. Get a copy and install it on your computer. [http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/] |

| | 124 | |
| | 125 | - Once these are installed load up Eclipse. It will ask for a workspace directory to store the project files in, you can choose anywhere. |

| | 127 | - Make sure that you are in PyDev mode. You can see this in the top right corner of Eclipse. |
| | 128 | |
| | 129 | - Setup a new project. File->New->PyDev Project. Name it something sensible like SansView Project. Leave all options as default but make sure the option "Create 'src' folder and add it to the PYTHONPATH" is selected. |
