Linux installation

Warning

The Linux version is a preview so you may experience instability.

1. 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.

2. If it doesn't exist, create the root directory for expert.ai software with this shell command:

   sudo mkdir /opt/expert.ai 
   

3. 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    
   

You're now ready to start Studio.
