 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 afvorite IDE installed. As of this writing, it is the only commercial application that resides on my system. Fortunately JetBrains offers a Linux version [[http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/download/:you can find it here]].
+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>
