# Download the CLI with the Eclipse plugin

When you install the Eclipse plugin and open a file that Snyk supports, the [Snyk CLI](/developer-tools/snyk-cli.md) is downloaded automatically unless you have opted out. The [Language Server](/developer-tools/snyk-ide-plugins-and-extensions/snyk-language-server.md) is also downloaded. The Language Server works with the CLI to give you an optimal Eclipse experience.

Continue with [Authentication for the Eclipse plugin](/developer-tools/snyk-ide-plugins-and-extensions/eclipse-plugin/authentication-for-the-eclipse-plugin.md).
