If you already have Eclipse installed do next:

  • Run Eclipse
  • Help -> Eclipse Marketplace...
  • Find -> Spring Tools 4 Click Install button. Enjoy.

Step 1: Download the latest Spring Tool Suite for Linux from STS official website: https://spring.io/tools

Step 2: Extract into any folder which you prefer. My extracted Spring Tool Suite locations is /home/harishshan/springsource

Step 3: Create the Menu icon for quick access

sudo vim /usr/share/applications/STS.desktop

Step 4: Enter the following content

[Desktop Entry]
Name=SpringSource Tool Suite
Comment=SpringSource Tool Suite
Exec=~/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/STS
Icon=~/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/icon.xpm
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;IDE;Java;

Step 5: Now you can check from Quick Menu by typing "Spring"

Note: Small additional update for Ubuntu 18.04 & STS 4+ use Absolute path instead of relative. Use Exec=/home/harishshan/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/STS Icon=/home/harishshan/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/icon.xpm dont'use Exec=~somedir/harishshan/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/STS Icon=~somedir/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/icon.xpm

  1. Download the STS installer package (*.tar.gz) file to your downloads directory. At the time of this writing, that is...

    spring-tool-suite-3.9.5.RELEASE-e4.8.0-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

  2. Expand the archive...

    tar -xzf spring-tool-suite-3.9.5.RELEASE-e4.8.0-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

  3. Move the STS files to a good place for them to live. I like installing applications that will be possibly shared by multiple users, to the /opt/... directory.

    sudo mv sts-bundle /opt/sts

  4. Stealing the rest of this from @Sangimed, because his answer was very good too.

    Create the Menu icon for quick access...

    sudo nano /usr/share/applications/STS.desktop

    Enter the following content

    [Desktop Entry]
Name=SpringSource Tool Suite
Comment=SpringSource Tool Suite
Exec=/opt/sts/sts-3.9.5.RELEASE/STS
Icon=/opt/sts/sts-3.9.5.RELEASE/icon.xpm
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Keywords=Java,Eclipse,Spring,IDE,Development
Categories=Development;IDE;Java;

Now you can just hit the "Windows" key on your keyboard and type "spring" to launch the application, like any other properly installed application on your Desktop.

You can use wget to download the file. To find the download link, go on Spring’s main website, right click on the download link for the package->

Select “Open Link in New Tab” ->

Copy and paste the new tab’s url into your wget command.

For example this command downloads the tar file:

wget “download.springsource.com/release/STS/3.9.0.RELEASE/dist/e4.7/spring-tool-suite-3.9.0.RELEASE-e4.7.0-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz”

Unzips the tar file:

sudo tar -xvf spring-tool-suite-3.9.0.RELEASE-e4.7.0-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Go to the STS download page at http://spring.io/tools/sts/all , choose linux and your architecture(x86-x64). Once the download is finished, go to the downloaded directory and extract the .zip file into a convenient directory of your choice. Open the extracted sts-bundle directory, right click STS then just click run.

The answer is pretty simple:

  1. cd ~ && mkdir STS
  2. cd ~/STS && tar -zxvf ~/Downloads/spring-*

Note: the last statement will look for all tar's with the naming 'spring-...' before running this, make sure that in Downloads folder there's only one sts tar archive.

Extract tar.gz file wherever you want

(for 64 Bit)

sudo tar -xvf spring-tool-suite-3.7.0.RELEASE-e4.5-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

(or for 32 Bit)

sudo tar -xvf spring-tool-suite-3.7.0.RELEASE-e4.5-linux-gtk.tar.gz

and you can start to use (/sts-bundle/sts-3.7.0.RELEASE/STS).
