Installing phpstorm / webstorm as Application

Question

Is it possible somehow to install phpstorm and webstorm and having them in the application list?

Answer 1

Step 1: Go to https://www.jetbrains.com/

Step 2: Download the tar.gz of the IDE you want. For eg. PhpStorm

Step 3: Extract the PhpStorm.tar.gz file to your preferred location. You can use the right-click option or from the command line use: $ tar -zxvf PhpStorm.tar.gz

Step 4: Now go to <folder location>/PhpStorm/bin and run the phpstorm.sh file. This will create an icon in the Application list as well as run the program.

Later on, when you want to start the application you can do so from the application list

Install dependencies:

From official site:

Oracle (Sun) JDK 1.6+ or OpenJDK 1.7 or higher (OpenJDK 1.8 is recommended). Using OpenJDK is not recommended because this may result in visual and performance problems. You can use OpenJDK on your own risk if Oracle JDK causes more severe issues in your system. Installation instructions:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
