Update phpstorm on Ubuntu linux.

Install_Phpstorm.sh

#!/bin/bash -e
# IMPORTANT. My phpstom installation exists on /opt/phpstorm.
# Early Access program: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/PhpStorm+Early+Access+Program
# For stable releases try: https://data.services.jetbrains.com/products/download?code=PS&platform=linux

if [ "$(whoami)" != "root" ]
then
  echo "Sorry, you are not root."
  exit 1
fi

echo -n "Please enter the PhpStorm download url (eg http://download.jetbrains.com/webide/PhpStorm-EAP-141.690.tar.gz): "
read url
 
# Download file from url
echo "Downloading PhpStorm to ~/Desktop"
cd ~/Desktop
wget ${url} --no-check-certificate
tar -xzf ~/Desktop/PhpStorm*
rm ~/Desktop/PhpStorm*.tar.gz

# Remove old Phpstorm
echo "Removing old PhpStorm"
rm -rf /opt/phpstorm

# Copy new Phpstorm
echo "Copying new PhpStorm"
mv ~/Desktop/PhpStorm* /opt/phpstorm

# Finish
echo "New PhpStorm has been installed!"

thanks, very useful 👍

What about all your old settings?

it saves the settings in your home folder called .WebIde100

rm ~/Desktop/PhpStorm*.tar.gz
would be better than
rm ~/Desktop/PhpStorm*
imho

love it

Maybe this is be better idea

if [ "$(whoami)" != "root" ]
then
echo "Sorry, you are not root."
exit 1
fi

than # IMPORTANT. Run with sudo!

And also, for linux save in /tmp will be correctly than save temporary file on desktop.

what about any additional installed plugins?

A simple, similar script to update to the latest version of PhpStorm on Ubuntu (without having to type in a URL): https://gist.github.com/olivertappin/e5920e131db9a451c91aa6e2bc24dc40

New similar script for install or update(auto) jetbrains products like phpstorm, webstorm and other. + java + non latin hotkeys fixes
