install Pycharm Professional

Setup the thing (\:/)

Download and extract somewhere (like ~/) and go to scripts and run sh install.sh

This will add a script to load some ENV variables in ZSH, BASH and Profile.

These Envs make the pycharm.sh file to use some special VM_OPTIONS file

Close the current terminal and open another terminal to run pycharm.sh in the following steps.

Download

Download the tar.gz file from here

Extract

Extract to /opt (as recommended by Linux FHS) like here:

sudo tar xzf pycharm-*.tar.gz -C /opt/

Configure

run pycharm.sh:

cd /opt/pycharm-2022.2.4/bin
sh pycharm.sh

Create a desktop entry

On the Welcome screen, click Options Menu | Create Desktop Entry.

Add to JetBrains Toolbox

warning: it might be not necessary if you fill the state.json (in ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox) truly according to the current path of your app with something like this:

{
    "channelId": "PyCharm-P-982d7ffa-8962-4afe-9a39-0a5b9f7c3d6d",
    "toolId": "PyCharm-P",
    "productCode": "PY",
    "tag": "pycharm",
    "displayName": "PyCharm Professional",
    "displayVersion": "2024.1.1",
    "buildNumber": "241.15989.155",
    "installLocation": "/home/x/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/pycharm-professional",
    "launchCommand": "bin/pycharm.sh"
}

WARN: Be careful if the app path is under root access you CANNOT use this and should continue reading!

---

In the Extract step, you should extract here:

sudo tar xzf pycharm-*.tar.gz -C ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/

# change the name to be obvious for JetBrains Toolbox
cd ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/
mv pycharm-2024.1.1 pycharm-professional

Then you should probably wait (maybe some minutes) or restart to make JetBrains Tools understand the change and load the Pycharm Professional in the apps list

The thing (\:/)

After the app loaded, you should go to the app settings and go to the Edit JVM options. There, you should set the place of your jvm and more like this:

-javaagent:/home/x/ja-netfilter/ja-netfilter.jar=jetbrains
--add-opens=java.base/jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.tree=ALL-UNNAMED

Fill the x after /home/ with the right place for your thing!
