Download and link script in bash, just replace ~/Workspace/Scipts/ with a directory for where you want the script to live:

wget https://git.io/fNulI --no-check-certificate -q -O - >> ~/Workspace/Scripts/idea.sh && chmod +x ~/Workspace/Scripts/idea.sh && rm -f /usr/local/bin/idea && ln -s ~/Workspace/Scripts/idea.sh /usr/local/bin/idea

NOTE This will remove the existing command line util installed by intellij in favor of this more dynamic script.

If the symlink exists already, or was autogenerated on Intellij update, just run the following (assuming you already downloaded this script):

rm -f /usr/local/bin/idea && ln -s ~/Workspace/Scripts/idea.sh /usr/local/bin/idea
