 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. Choosing Linux Mint LMDE edition probably means you're interested in more than the desktop environment and applications.

 +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:​launcher_properties-phpstorm.png?​direct&​200 |}}
 +Althouh PhpStorm permits to do just that using the "​Configure > Create Desktop Entry" menu.
 +
 +=== Cleanup Before You Leave ===
 +The tar.gz archives still resides in the /opt directory, we can get rid of it now:
 +<​code>​
 +sudo rm /​opt/​PhpStorm-*.tar.gz
 +</​code>​
