Standalone install

PyDev is available in LiClipse, which provides a hassle free (and OS-native) experience to install it.

Note that by supporting LiClipse you also directly support the development PyDev itself.

See the LiClipse homepage for details on getting it.

Also, if using Django-templates, Mako or RST, LiClipse is the recommended install as it provides support for those languages (among others such as C++, CoffeScript, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, etc.), along with theming support -- which is especially nice for dark themes -- if you're into it :)

Install as Plugin

If you wish to install PyDev as a plugin in an existing Eclipse installation, make sure you meet the requirements below and follow the Quick Install from the right-bar (or follow the step-by-step from Getting Started Guide > Install).

Requirements

Java 8: Important: If you don't have java 8, the update process may appear to succeed, but PyDev will simply not show in the target installation. See Getting Started Guide > Install for troubleshooting.

At least one of:

Python (2.6 or newer)
Jython (2.6 or newer)
IronPython (2.6 or newer) - excluding 2.7.6 and 2.7.7 have a bug which makes them unusable in PyDev.

and

Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) onwards

Note if using Eclipse standalone: Python and IronPython require only the Platform Runtime Binary (get from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads - download around 45-50 MB), and Jython also requires JDT.

Requirements for Profiling

To profile your programs, PyVmMonitor is required and integrated through the profile view inside PyDev (window > show view > other > PyDev > profile).

Troubleshooting install problems
