# TOP: TDL Open source Project

Welcome to the TOP TDL repository.

More info at [TDL website](https://tdl.etsi.org)

## Installing the plug-ins

The TDL tools are available as a set of Eclipse plug-ins. You need to first be able to run Eclipse. The [Eclipse Neon Modeling Tools](http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-modeling-tools/neon3) distribution contains most of the necessary prerequisites for the TDL tools.

Once Eclipse is up and running, you need to add the [update site](http://build.tdl.etsi.org) for the TDL tools: (http://build.tdl.etsi.org)

After the update site is added, the list of plug-ins and features shall be shown in the installation dialog. Select the desired features and proceed with the installation, which will require Eclipse to be restarted once the installation is finished.
