I like to install my development tools in a directory called 'tools'.

Use that new URL as the argument for wget in order to download it. On the resulting page cancel the automatic download (you don't want to download it into your ChromeOS Downloads folder), but right click the 'direct link' link and copy that to your clipboard. If this path becomes stale (I cannot control if/when they will remove this version from their download folder), go to the IntelliJ IDEA download page in your browser, choose 'Linux', and click the 'Download' button next to the. Note: the '~/' in front of the path name is a short-cut way to say 'in my home directory. Note, I will continue to use 'downloads' as the folder name here, if you chose something else use that wherever I say 'downloads'. Now set that as your current working directory. I like to call my download folder 'downloads'. If you haven't already created a download directory for yourself, do that now. It has links for the Community Edition of IntelliJ IDEA, however if you're installing the Ultimate Edition, these steps still work but I will trust you to substitute URLs and filenames as needed.įirst we need to install 'wget' so that we have a way to download IntelliJ. This post assumes you have a brand-new Debian stretch container installed by the usual means.
