Unofficial JetBrains PPA

This is the unofficial JetBrains PPA which you can use to get the latest and greatest products from JetBrains.

If you don't care about having a single place to update all your packages (via apt), you can also use the JetBrains Toolbox. Its maintained by JetBrains, covers all JetBrains products, and offers some nice functionality on top.

This PPA contains the following packages:

• CLion clion
• DataGrip datagrip
• DataSpell dataspell
• GoLand goland
• IntelliJ IDEA (unified) intellij-idea
• JetBrains Gateway jetbrains-gateway
• PhpStorm phpstorm
• PyCharm (unified) pycharm
• Rider rider
• RubyMine rubymine
• RustRover rustrover
• WebStorm webstorm

All packages are automatically updated using GitHub Actions.

Installation

To use it, enter the commands below, one by one. They download the correct GPG Key and add this repositories sources to your system sources.

curl -s https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/jetbrains-ppa/0xA6E8698A.pub.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/jetbrains-ppa-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jetbrains-ppa-archive-keyring.gpg] http://jetbrains-ppa.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com any main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jetbrains-ppa.list >/dev/null

sudo apt-get update

Alternatively, if you want to use the new Deb822 format, use the following. Note that you cannot have both active (old debian + Deb822 style).

curl -s https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/jetbrains-ppa/0xA6E8698A.pub.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/jetbrains-ppa-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jetbrains-ppa.sources >/dev/null
Types: deb
URIs: http://jetbrains-ppa.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
Suites: any
Components: main
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/jetbrains-ppa-archive-keyring.gpg
EOF

sudo apt-get update

Then, to install IntelliJ IDEA for example, you can now run

sudo apt-get install intellij-idea

I'm not getting any updates

Check your apt policy. It should say any/main after the URL. If it does not (like below), please redo the installation instructions.

$ apt show pycharm | grep "APT-Sources"
APT-Sources: http://jetbrains-ppa.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com bionic/main amd64 Packages

I want another package

If you want a package for another JetBrains product please create a GitHub issue. Ideally, also provide a Pull Request.

Why not use the official snap packages?

Sure! If you like snap packages, go ahead. However, not all packages contained in this repository are already available as snap packages. And maybe you don't like snaps? :)

Building the packages

You will need fpm (based on ruby) and jq installed:

sudo apt install jq ruby ruby-dev rubygems build-essential
sudo gem install fpm

To build a package, run the build script with a package folder:

./build-single-deb packages/<package>

To build the intellij-idea package for example use:

./build-single-deb packages/intellij-idea

Why this was written

I hate manually downloading, extracting and moving the *.tar.gz from the JetBrains website to get an IDE update. Unfortunately JetBrains does not have a Debian repository.

Maintainers note

# Create the build container
docker buildx build -f docker/Dockerfile -t jetbrains-ppa-builder:latest .

# Use the build container
docker run -it --env-file .env -v "$(pwd):/app" jetbrains-ppa-builder:latest

# Test GH action
act --secret-file .env schedule
