# Offline installation

Typically, offline installations start with a download of SonarQube for IDE from your IDE’s Marketplace.

The Eclipse marketplace does not host SonarQube for Eclipse and all versions are available on the [Eclipse binaries](https://binaries.sonarsource.com/?prefix=SonarLint-for-Eclipse/releases/) page.

If you can’t perform an online installation, you can use a SonarQube for Eclipse repository archive.

1\. Manually download the latest archive (.zip) of the SonarQube for Eclipse repository from <https://binaries.sonarsource.com/?prefix=SonarLint-for-Eclipse/releases/>

2\. Open **Install New Software…**
