| 3 | INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
| 4 | =============================================================================== |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Linux Installation Instructions |
| 7 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 8 | 1. Unpack the @@product_full@@ distribution archive that you downloaded to |
| 9 | where you wish to install the program. We will refer to this destination |
| 10 | location as your {installation home} below. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | 2. Open a console and cd into "{installation home}/bin" and type: |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ./@@product@@.sh |
| 15 | |
| 16 | to start the application. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | 3. [OPTIONAL] Add the "{installation home}/bin" to your PATH environmental |
| 19 | variable so that you may start @@product_full@@ from any directory. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | 4. [OPTIONAL] To adjust the value of JVM heap size open @@product@@.vmoptions |
| 22 | (@@product@@64.vmoptions for 64-bit JDK), and modify the -Xms and -Xmx parameters. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | |
| 25 | [OPTIONAL] Changing location of "config" and "system" directory |
| 26 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 27 | By default @@product_full@@ stores all your settings under ~/.@@system_selector@@/config directory |
| 28 | and stores data cache under ~/.@@system_selector@@/system directory. |
| 29 | If you want to change these settings, |
| 30 | |
| 31 | 1. Open a console and cd into "{installation home}/bin" |
| 32 | |
| 33 | 2. Open file "idea.properties" in an editor. You should find strings like |
| 34 | |
| 35 | idea.system.path=~/.@@settings_dir@@/system |
| 36 | |
| 37 | and |
| 38 | |
| 39 | idea.config.path=~/.@@settings_dir@@/config |
| 40 | |
| 41 | and change them. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | 3. Note that we recommend to store data cache ("system" directory) at a disk |
| 44 | with at least 1G bytes free space |
| 45 | |
| 46 | |
