	Acceleo can be downloaded and installed in a number of ways. If you have an existing Eclipse installation and simply wish to install
	Acceleo in it, <a href="#installUpdate">Installing through the update site</a> is the easiest way. If you'd rather install a new
	Eclipse with Acceleo, you may want to take a look at the facilities provided by <a href="#installAmalgam">the amalgamation project</a>.
</p>
<p>
	For those of you that need to retrieve the zips of Acceleo, you can either look at the <a href="#downloadLatest">latest releases</a> or
	the <a href="#downloadLegacy">legacy releases</a> if you need one of the 2.x releases.
</p>
<p>
	Note that whatever the installation procedure you choose, examples are available from the menu <i>right-click =&gt; New =&gt; Examples
	=&gt; Acceleo Plug-ins</i>.
