  • Did you unpack the tar.gz file and run the .sh in the bin directory there? – George Udosen Feb 09 '17 at 13:36

You're welcome, here you go, firstly Install required Oracle JDK for Ubuntu, then please follow the following steps:

i-Download Latest IntelliJ IDEA 2016 for Linux: Here IntelliJ IDEA 2016 tar.gz for Linux.

ii- Either double-Click and Extract IntelliJ Archive into /tmp Or from Shell with a Command-line like: tar xvzf ~/Downloads/idea*.tar.gz -C /tmp/

iii- sudo su

iv- Set up the root superUser as holder: chown -R root:root /tmp/idea*

v-Switch the IntelliJ IDEA contents: mv /tmp/idea* /opt/idea

vi- Making a Symlink into the working Path: ln -s /opt/idea/bin/idea.sh /usr/local/bin/idea.sh

vii- End the SuperUser session: exit

viii- Launch IDEA from terminal: idea.sh

Finally perform Initial Customization, enjoy.
