How to install FRC plugins

This is in the tutorial also, but I thought I'd just throw this in here.

1. Open Eclipse
2. Select "Help" on the top menu bar
3. Click "Install New Software"
4. Click "Add..." at the right of "Work with" slot
5. Name: FRC Plugins
6. Location: http://first.wpi.edu/FRC/roborio/release/eclipse/
7. Click "OK"
8. Agree with terms
9. Click "Finish"

Note: You need to install the FRC Plugins before you do the below steps.

Cloning the Repository

1. Ensure you have git installed - if not, get it from: https://git-scm.com/downloads
2. Open the command line program (Windows: Git Bash, Mac: Terminal)
3. Navigate to your Eclipse workspace folder (whatever you chose when opening Eclipse): cd ~/FOLDER (Possibly: Documents/workspace or workspace)
4. Run git clone https://github.com/frc5517/Steamworks2017.git
5. Enter GitHub username and password if prompted
6. Once it is cloned, cd into the directory (cd Steamworks2017)
7. List directory contents, ensuring everything is there: ls

Importing Project into Eclipse

1. In Eclipse, go to File > Import...
2. Double click Git and then Projects from Git
3. Double click Existing local repository
4. If "Steamworks2017" is not listed:
   1. Click Add... and then Browse
   2. Find the workspace directory, select it and click Open
   3. Click Search
   4. Check the checkbox next to the repository found (Steamworks2017) and click Finish
5. Select "Steamworks2017" and click Next
6. Select Import using New Project Wizard and then click Finish
7. Expand WPILib Robot Java Development and double click Robot Java Project
8. Enter Steamworks2017 for Project Name
9. Select Command-Based Robot for Project Type
10. Click Finish

Eclipse should now open the project and import the code from the repository.

You will notice there is probably an error. This is because the WPILib wizard creates the "ExampleSubsystem" and "ExampleCommand" classes. You just need to delete these to fix this error.

1. Expand Steamworks2017 if it isn't already expanded
2. Expand src
3. Expand org.usfirst.frcteam5517.robot.commands and org.usfirst.frcteam5517.robot.subsystems
4. Delete ExampleCommand.java and ExampleSubsystem.java from their respective directories.
5. The errors should now vanish.

Voila! You're now all setup.

Whenever you make changes and are ready to commit, go to command line, ensure you're in the project folder, and you can then run the git commands from there. For info on git, check out https://git-scm.com/
