4. Installing IntelliJ IDEA
Now, relocate the IntelliJ IDEA folder and set the root superuser as the owner of the IntelliJ IDEA files:
sudo chown -R root:root /tmp/idea*
Authenticate with the user admin password.
If you encounter the error “User is not in sudoers file,” you can find a solution here: How to Enable sudo.
Next, move the content into the /opt directory:sudo mv /tmp/idea* /opt/idea
Create a symlink to the executable in your working paths:
sudo ln -s /opt/idea/bin/idea.sh /usr/local/bin/idea.sh
