INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
===============================================================================
1. Unpack the @@product_full@@ distribution archive that you downloaded
where you wish to install the program. We will refer to this
location as your {installation home}.
2. To start the application, open a console, cd into "{installation home}/bin" and type:
./@@product@@.sh
This will initialize various configuration files in the configuration directory:
~/.config/@@product_vendor@@/@@system_selector@@.
3. [OPTIONAL] Add "{installation home}/bin" to your PATH environment
variable so that you can start @@product_full@@ from any directory.
4. [OPTIONAL] To adjust the value of the JVM heap size, create a file @@product@@.vmoptions
(or @@product@@64.vmoptions if using a 64-bit JDK) in the configuration directory
and set the -Xms and -Xmx parameters. To see how to do this,
you can reference the vmoptions file under "{installation home}/bin" as a model
but do not modify it, add your options to the new file.
[OPTIONAL] Change the location of the "config" and "system" directories
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By default, @@product_full@@ stores all your settings in the
~/.config/@@product_vendor@@/@@system_selector@@ directory
and uses ~/.local/share/@@product_vendor@@/@@system_selector@@ as a data cache.
To change the location of these directories:
1. Open a console and cd into ~/.config/@@product_vendor@@/@@system_selector@@
2. Create a file openide.properties and set the idea.system.path and idea.config.path variables, for example:
idea.system.path=~/custom/system
idea.config.path=~/custom/config
NOTE: Store the data cache ("system" directory) on a disk with at least 1 GB of free space.
Enjoy!
