Installation
How to install the IntelliJ Community edition:
- Go to: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download
- Click on the download button
Ubuntu 16.04
After downloading the tar.gz file unpack it and start IntelliJ:
|
1 2 |
tar -xf ideaIC-2017.1.2.tar.gz -C /opt/ /opt/idea-IC-171.4249.39/bin/idea.sh |
Shortcut
After starting IntelliJ the first time a wizard will create an application shortcut for you. If that not works you can create a shortcut by doing that:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
sudo su -c 'cat > /usr/share/applications/intellij.desktop <<EOF [Desktop Entry] Version=2017.1 Type=Application Terminal=false Icon[en_US]=/opt/idea-IC-171.4249.39/bin/idea.png Name[en_US]=IntelliJ Exec=/opt/idea-IC-171.4249.39/bin/idea.sh Name=IntelliJ Icon=/opt/idea-IC-171.4249.39/bin/idea.png EOF' sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/applications/intellij.desktop sudo chown root:root /usr/share/applications/intellij.desktop |
Now you can find the IntelliJ application in your Ubuntu application search bar.
And you can also pin IntelliJ now on our launch bar.
