A PCRE internal error occured. This might be caused by a faulty plugin

====== Developer Tools ====== Choosing Linux Mint LMDE edition probably means you're interested in more than the desktop environment and applications. Being active as a web applications developer, my intention is to turn my workstation into a fully fledged development platform, this means I have to setup a few things to make it suit my needs. First of all I needed my favorite IDE installed. As of this writing, it is the only commercial application that resides on my system. Fortunately JetBrains offers a Linux version. ===== JetBrains PhpStorm IDE ===== First you need to **download the tar.gz archive** from Jetbrains web site: [[http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/download/|download it here...]] ==== Install Application to /opt ==== You probably don't want this application to resides in your ~/Dowloads folder, cause that's probably not the best place to keep it. So we'll move it to the /opt directory, where it belongs. So **move the archive** using: <code> sudo mv /home/<username>/Downloads/PhpStorm-* /opt/ </code> Then **extract the archive**. Supposing it is now in the /opt directory, you need to execute the commands as superuser: <code> sudo cd /opt sudo tar xvfz PhpStorm-*.tar.gz </code> Then **run the install shell script**: <code> sudo ./PhpStorm-*/bin/phpstorm.sh </code> === Create a Shortcut in the Application Menu === You could use our [[tricks:application-shortcut|Create an Application Shortcut trick]] to create an application shortcut in the menu using: {{ :applications:devtools:launcherproperties-phpstorm.png?direct&200 |}} Althouh PhpStorm permits to do just that using the "Configure > Create Desktop Entry" menu.
