Installation

To use it, enter the commands below, one by one. They download the correct GPG Key and add this repositories sources to your system sources.

curl -s https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/jetbrains-ppa/0xA6E8698A.pub.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/jetbrains-ppa-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jetbrains-ppa-archive-keyring.gpg] http://jetbrains-ppa.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com any main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jetbrains-ppa.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update

To install for example IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, you can now run

sudo apt-get install intellij-idea-ultimate

I still have the old Launchpad PPA sources

If you still have the sources from my Launchpad PPA, please run:

sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jetbrains.list{,.distUpgrade,.save}

Then, follow the installation instructions under Installation.

If you have any issues, please create a GitHub issue.

I'm not getting any updates

Check your apt policy. It should say any/main after the URL. If it doesen't (like below), please redo the installation instructions.

$ apt show pycharm-professional | grep "APT-Sources"
APT-Sources: http://jetbrains-ppa.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com bionic/main amd64 Packages

I used the old instructions with apt-key to add this repository

Run the two commands below to remove the jetbrains-ppa repository.

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jetbrains-ppa.list
apt-key del "C647 DF71 1B0C CC6A 9F87  69D0 F3A7 67B5 A6E8 698A"

Then, follow the installation instructions under Installation.

I want another package

If you want a package for another Jetbrains product please create a GitHub issue.

Why not use the official snap packages?

Sure! If you like snap packages, go ahead. However, not all packages contained in this repository are already available as snap packages. And maybe you don't like snaps? :)

Building the packages

You will need fpm (based on ruby) and jq installed:

sudo apt install jq ruby ruby-dev rubygems build-essential
sudo gem install fpm

To build a package, run the build script with a package folder:

./build-single-deb packages/<package>

To build intellij-idea-ultimate for example use:

./build-single-deb packages/intellij-idea-ultimate

Why this was written

I hate manually downloading, extracting and moving the *.tar.gz from the JetBrains website to get an IDE update. Unfortunately JetBrains does not have a Debian repository.

There are already existing PPAs. However, none have continuous delivery or provide a wide range of JetBrains products.

Maintainers note
