1 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:10,960 In this video we want to download and install IntelliJ IDEA for a Linux platform. 2 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,420 Specifically, we're going to be using Ubuntu 18.04.01. 3 00:00:15,420 --> 00:00:20,600 The reason for that is the LTS, the long-term support version of Ubuntu, as of the time 4 00:00:20,610 --> 00:00:24,779 I'm recording this video. Now what I want to do is firstly show you the two 5 00:00:24,779 --> 00:00:29,130 versions that are available. So I've gone to jetbrains.com. Now you won't need to 6 00:00:29,130 --> 00:00:32,360 do that and that's because the commands I'm going to be showing you are from the 7 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,720 command line to do the installation. I just want to show you the two versions. 8 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,880 So I'm going to go into tools here and click on IntelliJ IDEA. 9 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,580 So that's the Integrated Development Environment, or editor, we will be using for this course. 10 00:00:43,580 --> 00:00:46,960 I'll just click on Yes to accept that, to close the cookies declaration. 11 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,820 I'm going to go to Download again, purely just to show you the various versions. So we've got two 12 00:00:50,820 --> 00:00:55,380 versions there. We've got an Ultimate Edition, which is a paid tool, 13 00:00:55,420 --> 00:00:59,880 and a Community Edition, which is a free one. In this course the Community Edition will 14 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:04,110 do everything you need, so there's no need to pay for IntelliJ unless you're 15 00:01:04,110 --> 00:01:06,960 doing some more professional things. You can see over here to the left we've got 16 00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:11,490 JavaScript, Java Enterprise Edition, Spring and so on and so forth, so if you 17 00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:15,390 need that extra functionality in the future, you can come back and grab the 18 00:01:15,390 --> 00:01:19,700 Ultimate Edition. You will need to pay for that, although there is a free 30-day trial, 19 00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:23,060 but I think the Community Edition will do everything you need to do. 20 00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:25,350 So let's close that page down because I mentioned we're going to be using the 21 00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:27,780 command line for this. 22 00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:30,120 I'm going to open a terminal window, clicking on 23 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,220 activities. I'm just going to type the first letter T, brings this up. 24 00:01:33,220 --> 00:01:39,220 I'm gonna click on terminal. Now there's two commands here. If you want to install the Community Edition, 25 00:01:39,220 --> 00:01:42,840 I'll type in the command first. So it's gonna be sudo space snap space 26 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:52,980 install space intellij - idea, being the name of the IDE - community. 27 00:01:52,980 --> 00:01:58,100 Now replace community with ultimate if you want to install the Ultimate Edition, 28 00:01:58,110 --> 00:02:02,729 the paid version of IntelliJ, remembering that you'll get a 30 day trial if you 29 00:02:02,729 --> 00:02:05,820 want to do that. In my case I'm going to install the free and open-source 30 00:02:05,820 --> 00:02:09,119 Community Edition, so I'm going to leave the word community there, and then I've got 31 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:18,040 a space - - classic. Press enter there. I'm going to type in my password. 32 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,600 That's now going to download and then install the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA, 33 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,420 directly down to, or into, our Linux distro, 34 00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:34,760 so this version of Linux that we're running, which again, was Ubuntu 18.04.1 35 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,900 Okay, you can see the download is completed. It's now installing, 36 00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:43,140 and you can see, in this case for me, it's installed the 2019.1.3 version, 37 00:02:43,140 --> 00:02:48,500 which is, as of the time I'm recording this video, the latest version of the IntelliJ Community Edition. 38 00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:51,180 Alright, so we've actually now, successfully downloaded and 39 00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:54,460 installed that. What we can do is start, until startup, we can come back to 40 00:02:54,460 --> 00:02:59,860 activities, and we can just type in IN, noting that we've now got an IntelliJ 41 00:02:59,860 --> 00:03:05,200 IDEA icon there. We and click on that, and close down our command window. 42 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,860 Give that a moment to start. We're gonna go through some of the settings now, just to 43 00:03:08,860 --> 00:03:13,060 show you what happens here. So firstly, when we first kick 44 00:03:13,060 --> 00:03:16,680 on and start IntelliJ IDEA for the first time, we've got an option to 45 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Import settings from a previous installation. That would be the top option, Config or 46 00:03:20,170 --> 00:03:23,530 installation folder, and that would be, if you've got an old version you want to 47 00:03:23,530 --> 00:03:27,240 import the settings. Perhaps you've configured it in a specific way. 48 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,910 If you want to do that, click on that, and then navigate to that folder. In my case, 49 00:03:30,910 --> 00:03:37,800 this a brand new installation. I'm going to check, or leave selected, Do not import settings, and click OK. 50 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,660 Next I'm going to agree to JetBrains Privacy Policy by 51 00:03:40,660 --> 00:03:44,220 checking the checkbox, and click on Continue. 52 00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:49,160 We've got the option to send anonymous usage statistics to JetBrains. 53 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,400 I'm gonna click on Don't send, but obviously, you can choose the other option if you prefer. 54 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,420 We've then got a choice of theme. Do we want to use a dark background with Darcula, or light. 55 00:03:58,420 --> 00:04:01,640 I'm going to select light, only because that's better for video purposes, 56 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,920 but generally I recommend Darcula for developing, and that's from my normal 57 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,540 development machine. I would, or do certainly use dark background. 58 00:04:10,540 --> 00:04:13,840 Click on Next for default plugins. I'm not going to change anything there. 59 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,839 You've got the options to disable or remove some options if you want. 60 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,360 Those things are fine, as is. I don't think we need to change anything there, 61 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,900 noting you can always go back later and make these changes if you want to. I'm not going to 62 00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:29,800 do anything. I'm going to click on Next, and I've got the option to install these 63 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,379 three things. We won't be using them in the course, 64 00:04:32,380 --> 00:04:34,940 so therefore I'm not going to change anything there either. 65 00:04:34,940 --> 00:04:38,720 I'm gonna click on Start using IntelliJ IDEA, 66 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,720 and you can see that's fired up IntelliJ IDEA. 67 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,780 Alright, so at this point we've now successfully installed IntelliJ IDEA on our Linux platform. 68 00:04:47,780 --> 00:04:52,080 There is a little bit more configuration we need to do, and there's a separate video in the course for configuring 69 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:58,600 IntelliJ IDEA, and that video is for all versions of IntelliJ; for Windows, Mac and Linux. 70 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,930 But the good news is that now that you've got to this stage and IntelliJ is 71 00:05:01,930 --> 00:05:06,120 booted, the interface is pretty much identical for all three platforms, so 72 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,780 fast forward now to that video, or go to that video in the course, and do the 73 00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:13,680 remaining configuration and then we'll be ready to start programming in this course. 74 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,760 I'll see you in that next video.
