00:00Hey guys, in this video, I'm going to show you how you can install and set up IntelliJ IDEA
00:04on your Ubuntu operating system. So there can be various different ways using which you can
00:13install IntelliJ IDEA. I'm going to show you the way which I personally use and I feel that is the
00:20most efficient way of installing IntelliJ IDEA. So let's get started and let's see how we can do it.
00:28So first of all, open your favorite browser and search for IntelliJ IDEA. And the first link which
00:33will appear here will be from jetprints.com forward slash IDEA. We are going to navigate this website
00:40just to verify which is the latest version at the time of making this video. So I'm going to click
00:45on this link here and then scroll down a little. You can see the download button. So I'm going to
00:51click on the download button. Now you might already know that IntelliJ IDEA comes in
00:57a few different formats. First one is IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, which is the paid version of
01:04IntelliJ IDEA. And then you can also install the community edition of IntelliJ IDEA, which is free
01:12to use and it's open source, right? Now, as you can see at the time of making this video,
01:19the version 2024.1.2 is the latest version. Here you can see. I can also see that the 2024.2
01:34is coming soon at the time of making this video, right? So we want to install this version of
01:41IntelliJ IDEA IDEA. But we are not going to click on this download button, which is on the IntelliJ
01:50IDEA website. We are going to use a utility called Snap, which is from Canonical, which is the developer
01:59of Ubuntu operating system also. And Snap is a package manager using which you can install various different
02:08tools, including IntelliJ IDEA on your Ubuntu operating system. So if you have the latest version
02:16of Ubuntu, it already comes with this Snap utility. Now, in order to find out what are the versions
02:26which are available for IntelliJ IDEA using Snap, you can open the terminal. To open the terminal,
02:33click on this show apps icon and then click on terminal, which is going to open the terminal for
02:39you. And here just write Snap find IntelliJ in double quotes and then press enter. And it's going to show
02:49me all the versions which I can install via Snap. So you can see the version which is available
02:57using the Snap is also 2024.1.2. This is the same version we have seen on the official website, which is the
03:08latest version. We are going to download the community version. So this is the name for that Snap package.
03:15You can also go to your favorite browser and search for Snap IntelliJ. And then you will see this website which
03:23says snapcraft.io forward slash IntelliJ IDEA community. And when you click on this link,
03:30you can see how you can install the community version of IntelliJ using Snap. So click on this
03:37install button. And this is the command which you can use to install the community version of
03:43IntelliJ IDEA. So I'm going to copy this command and then go to my terminal and then paste this command
03:50on my terminal. And this command is sudo snap install space IntelliJ IDEA community space
03:58hyphen hyphen classic. I'm going to press enter here and give my password which I used to log into my
04:05Ubuntu operating system and then press enter. And this is going to start the download and install of this
04:12IntelliJ IDEA IDE. It's not going to take too much time to install this IntelliJ IDEA IDE. So just wait
04:20for a few seconds until you see this progress bar reaches to the 100% mark. You can also see the progress
04:29here. So right now it's 12, 13%, right? So just wait for this. And after a few seconds, you can see this
04:37message which says IntelliJ IDEA community from JetBrains is installed, right? So now IntelliJ IDEA IDE has been
04:46installed on our Ubuntu operating system. Now to verify that IntelliJ IDEA is properly installed, we are
04:54going to try to open IntelliJ IDEA. And we are also going to see how we can create a Java project using
05:01IntelliJ IDEA. So for that click on this show apps icon once again, and you can see the IntelliJ IDEA
05:08icon here. You can also search for IntelliJ IDEA and click on this icon here, which is going to start
05:16the IntelliJ IDEA and you can see the IDE has been started now. Now for the first time when you start
05:23IntelliJ IDEA, it's going to show you this kind of community edition terms and license page. So if you
05:31agree with these terms and license conditions, then click on icon form, and then click on continue here.
05:39And then if you want to share data with IntelliJ IDEA, then click on send anonymous statistics.
05:48In my case, I don't want to do this. So I'm going to click on don't send here. Now in the next step,
05:52you can see if you have Visual Studio code already installed, then you can also import some settings
06:00from Visual Studio code editor. This I don't want to do. So I'm going to skip the import for now.
06:08And now I can see that IntelliJ IDEA has been started on my Ubuntu operating system. So it's
06:16going to look something like this. To create a new Java project, you can click on the new project
06:21option here. And then you can create a Java project. So from the left hand side, you can select
06:27the language, I'm going to select the Java here. And the name of the project will be let's say,
06:33Hello here. And the location will be your home folder forward slash idea projects,
06:39I'm going to leave it as default. If you want to use some version control like git version control,
06:47you can also click or check this checkbox, which is going to create this repository,
06:53I'm going to leave it as default, which is unchecked. For the build system, I'm going to leave it as
07:00IntelliJ here, you can also choose Maven on Gradle from here. And in the JDK version, I can click on
07:09this drop down menu. And then I can select the version of IntelliJ IDEA, which I have on my Ubuntu operating
07:19system. So from here, you can see IntelliJ IDEA have already detected this version of
07:27Java JDK on my Ubuntu operating system, which is Oracle OpenJDK. And it's in my user forward slash lib
07:37forward slash jvm forward slash JDK folder. So I'm going to select this version here. And then in the
07:45advanced setting, you can also select the module name, current root and module file location,
07:52I'm going to leave everything as default here. And then click and then click on create here,
07:59which is going to create a Java project for me. And once this Java project is created, you can see
08:06we have our hello project here. And we also have the source folder under which we have the main class.
08:14And in this main class, we also have some sample code to test with, right? The sample code prints
08:23hello and welcome here and also loops through this for loop and will print the value up to the limit
08:29specified here. So let's try and build this main class and let's see if everything works fine or not.
08:40Now to build your project and run your project, you can click on this hamburger menu, which is going to
08:45open this kind of menu items on the top. To build your project, you can click on build and then click on
08:53build project here, which is going to build your project. You can also see the progress of your build
09:01here. You can click on this progress bar and you will also see it on the bottom right corner also,
09:10right? You also have a few icons here. So you can see this build icon, which is going to show you the
09:17logs for your build. So you can see when you click on this hammer icon, you can see in my case, the build
09:25completed successfully in 28 seconds. So build is successful to run your code. Once again, click on
09:32this hamburger menu and then click on run and then click on run main dot Java, which is going to run
09:38down. And then you can see our code. And you can see our code ran successfully and it has printed
09:47hello and welcome and also printed the value is equal to I from one to five because of this for loop,
09:54right? So everything is working fine on IntelliJ IDEA IDE. You can also open the terminal from
10:03here. So if you want to build your project using the command line or the terminal, you can also
10:11do this from here. So we have successfully installed our IntelliJ IDE IDE and build and
10:18compiled our first Java program using IntelliJ IDE IDE. So that's it for this video. I hope you've
10:25enjoyed this video and I will see and I will see you in the next video.
