Operating system

Officially released 64-bit versions of the following:

 * Microsoft Windows 10 1809 or later
   
   Windows Server 2019 or later

 * macOS 12.0 or later

 * Any Linux distribution that supports KDE or Gnome DE.
   
   IntelliJ IDEA is not available for the Linux distributions that do not
   include GLIBC 2.27 or later.

Pre-release versions are not supported.

Latest 64-bit version of Windows, macOS, or Linux (for example, Debian, Ubuntu,
or RHEL)

You do not need to install Java to run IntelliJ IDEA because JetBrains Runtime
is bundled with the IDE (based on JRE 17). However, to develop Java
applications, a standalone JDK is required.


> WARNING
> 
> Older Linux distributions (before Ubuntu 18.04 and CentOS 8) don't support the
> required JCEF version starting from IntelliJ IDEA version 2022.1. This means
> that components relying on the embedded browser will not work, for example,
> the Markdown HTML preview and the interactive debugger console.


INSTALL USING THE TOOLBOX APP

The JetBrains Toolbox App is the recommended tool to install JetBrains products.
Use it to install and manage different products or several versions of the same
product, including Early Access Program (EAP) and Nightly releases, update and
roll back when necessary, and easily remove any tool. The Toolbox App maintains
a list of all your projects to quickly open any project in the right IDE and
version.

For more information, refer to Run IntelliJ IDEA for the first time.

For more information about the location of the default IDE directories with
user-specific files, refer to Directories used by the IDE.


SILENT INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS

Silent installation is performed without any user interface. It can be used by
network administrators to install IntelliJ IDEA on a number of machines and
avoid interrupting other users.

To perform silent install, run the installer with the following switches:

 * /S: Enable silent install

 * /CONFIG: Specify the path to the silent configuration file

 * /D: Specify the path to the installation directory
   
   This parameter must be the last in the command line, and it should not
   contain any quotes even if the path contains blank spaces.

For example:

>ideaIU.exe /S /CONFIG=d:\temp\silent.config /D=d:\IDE\IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate



To check for issues during the installation process, add the /LOG switch with
the log file path and name between the /S and /D parameters. The installer will
generate the specified log file. For example:

>ideaIU.exe /S /CONFIG=d:\temp\silent.config /LOG=d:\JetBrains\IDEA\install.log /D=d:\IDE\IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate




SILENT CONFIGURATION FILE

You can download the default silent configuration file for IntelliJ IDEA at
https://download.jetbrains.com/idea/silent.config

The silent configuration file defines the options for installing IntelliJ IDEA.
With the default options, silent installation is performed only for the current
user: mode=user. If you want to install IntelliJ IDEA for all users, change the
value of the installation mode option to mode=admin and run the installer as an
administrator.

The default silent configuration file is unique for each JetBrains product. You
can modify it to enable or disable various installation options as necessary.


> NOTE
> 
> It is possible to perform silent installation without the configuration file.
> In this case, omit the /CONFIG switch and run the installer as an
> administrator. Without the silent configuration file, the installer will
> ignore all additional options: it will not create desktop shortcuts, add
> associations, or update the PATH variable. However, it will still create a
> shortcut in the Start menu under JetBrains.


INSTALL AS A SNAP PACKAGE ON LINUX

You can install IntelliJ IDEA as a self-contained snap package. Since snaps
update automatically, your IntelliJ IDEA installation will always be up-to-date.


> NOTE
> 
> To use snaps, install and run the snapd service as described in the snapd
> installation guide.
> 
> On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and later, this service is pre-installed.

IntelliJ IDEA is distributed via two channels:

 * The stable channel includes only stable versions. To install the latest
   stable release of IntelliJ IDEA, run the following command:
   
   IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate
   Community Edition
   
   $sudo snap install intellij-idea-ultimate --classic
   
   
   $sudo snap install intellij-idea-community --classic
   
   
   
   The --classic option is required because the IntelliJ IDEA snap requires full
   access to the system, like a traditionally packaged application.

 * The edge channel includes EAP builds. To install the latest EAP build of
   IntelliJ IDEA, run the following command:
   
   IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate
   Community Edition
   
   $sudo snap install intellij-idea-ultimate --classic --edge
   
   
   $sudo snap install intellij-idea-community --classic --edge
   
   

When the snap is installed, you can launch it by running the
intellij-idea-ultimate or intellij-idea-community command.

To list all installed snaps, you can run sudo snap list. For more information
about other snap commands, refer to the Snapcraft documentation.
