Eclipse C++ plugin on ubuntu 13.04

I 've just installed ubuntu 13.04 Os on my laptop, then I downloaded eclipse Kepler for Java , After that I wanted to install c++ plugin for eclipse. so I typed in the terminal the command "sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt" , and it took a while to complete this process. But the problem is whenever I open eclipse again, I don't find the c/c++ perspective in eclipse. and it seems as if I haven't installed the CDT, any help please ??

  1. Uninstall everything
  2. Download Eclipse CDT x86 or Eclipse CDT x64
  3. Extract to /usr/lib/eclipse
  4. Link /usr/bin/eclipse to /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse
  5. You should now be able to select the C++ perspective and create C++ projects

Alternatively:

  1. Uninstall everything
  2. Download Eclipse Standard x86 or Eclipse Standard x64
  3. Extract to /usr/lib/eclipse
  4. Link /usr/bin/eclipse to /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse
  5. Open Eclipse
  6. Help > Install New Software
  7. Add the CDT Repository: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/kepler
  8. Select CDT and install it
