====== 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>
