jetbrains-linux-installer

apt-get like alternative for linux users that allows downloading and installing JetBrains programs such as IntelliJ IDEA, PhpStorm, WebStorm or PyCharm simply from your command-line.

• Downloads and Installs the newest version automatically (installs into /opt directory)
• Updates to the newest version
• Sets the permissions accordingly
• One command to handle all the hassle

Doesn't create .desktop entries, because that's what JetBrains apps can do by themselves. Instead, it launches every app that it installed right away (after all the packages are installed), so that you can do the initial setup. (if you don't like this behaviour, use the --no-launch option)

$ jetbrains-get --help
Usage:
	jetbrains-get install [packages] [options]	Installs/upgrades packages
	jetbrains-get upgrade [packages] [options]	Installs/upgrades packages

	jetbrains-get clean							Removes all downloaded files
	jetbrains-get --help						Prints this help message and quits

Packages:
