The installation media comes in the form of a compressed TAR archive—a file with .tar.gz extension. Copy it into a suitable working directory, for example, the home directory of your user.
If it doesn't exist, create the root directory for expert.ai software with this shell command:
```
sudo mkdir /opt/expert.ai 
```
Extract the contents of the archive with this shell command:
```
sudo tar xzf compressedtarfilepath -C /opt/expert.ai
```
where compressedtarfilepath is the path of the compressed TAR file. 4. The tar command creates a sub-directory inside /opt/expert.ai. The name of this sub-directory depends on the version of the installation media and has the following structure:
```
idea-IC-version
```
where version is the version of the IntelliJ platform Studio is based upon.

Change the current directory to the bin directory contained in that sub-directory, for example:
```
cd /opt/expert.ai/idea-IC-201.6668/bin    
```
Run the installation script:
```
./idea.sh
```
