	ATL can be downloaded and installed in a number of ways. If you have an existing Eclipse installation and simply wish to install
	ATL in it, <a href="#installUpdate">Installing through the update site</a> is the easiest way. If you'd rather install a new
	Eclipse with ATL, 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 ATL, you can either look at the <a href="#downloadLatest">latest releases</a>.
</p>
<p>
	Note that whatever the installation procedure you choose, examples are available from the menu <i>right-click =&gt; New =&gt; Examples
	=&gt; ATL</i>.
