The TDL tools are available as a set of Eclipse plug-ins. You need to first be able to run Eclipse. The [Eclipse Modeling Tools](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2020-06/r/eclipse-modeling-tools) distribution contains most of the necessary prerequisites for the TDL tools.
Once Eclipse is up and running, you need to add the [update site](https://tdl.etsi.org/eclipse/latest/) for the TDL tools:
https://tdl.etsi.org/eclipse/latest/
After the update site is added, the list of plug-ins and features shall be shown in the installation dialog (menu item Help->Install New Software..). Select the desired features and proceed with the installation, which will require Eclipse to be restarted once the installation is finished.
To add the new repository to Eclipse, follow these steps:
1. Open the menu item *Help* and select the item *Install new software*
1. Click *Add...* button to add a new repository
1. Insert the required information:
1.1. Name: TOP Plugins

1. Click Ok. In the window, a new set of plugins called TDL should appear
1. Click on the checkbox to select all the plugins, then click *Next*.
1. Now follow the instructions to complete the installation
After the installation Eclipse will need to be restarted.
