The version of Eclipse I'm running is : 3.8.1

I'm trying to install the force.com IDE for eclipse. I've seen many threads on this issue, and to be honest I'm so new to ubuntu and eclipse that I'm unable to get this resolved.

I have downloaded the eclipse marketplace as per these instructions https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewSolution?id=000181372&language=en_US . The IDE does not show up in the list when searched for. I can find it when I go to http://marketplace.eclipse.org/search/site/%2522force.com%2520ide%2522 but when I drag the 'install' icon to eclipse I get the following error:

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
