INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
===============================================================================
Linux Installation Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Unpack the @@product_full@@ distribution archive that you downloaded to
where you wish to install the program. We will refer to this destination
location as your {installation home} below.
2. Open a console and cd into "{installation home}/bin" and type:
./@@product@@.sh
to start the application. As a side effect, this will initialize various
configuration files in the ~/.@@system_selector@@ directory.
3. [OPTIONAL] Add "{installation home}/bin" to your PATH environment
variable so that you may start @@product_full@@ from any directory.
4. [OPTIONAL] To adjust the value of the JVM heap size, create
~/.@@system_selector@@/@@product@@.vmoptions (or @@product@@64.vmoptions
if using a 64-bit JDK), 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.
[OPTIONAL] Changing the location of "config" and "system" directories
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By default, @@product_full@@ stores all your settings under the ~/.@@system_selector@@/config
directory and uses ~/.@@system_selector@@/system as a data cache.
If you want to change these settings,
1. Open a console and cd into ~/.@@system_selector@@/
2. Create the file "idea.properties" and open it in an editor. Set the
idea.system.path and/or idea.config.path variables as desired, for
example:
idea.system.path=~/custom/system
idea.config.path=~/custom/config
3. Note that we recommend to store data cache ("system" directory) on a disk
with at least 1GB of free space.
Enjoy!
