Install PyCharm tar file in Linux

PyCharm

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

===============================================================================

  1. Unpack the PyCharm distribution archive that you downloaded where you wish to install the program. We will refer to this location as your {installation home}.

  2. To start the application, open a console, cd into "{installation home}/bin" and type:

       ./pycharm.sh

     This will initialize various configuration files in the configuration directory:

     ~/.config/JetBrains/PyCharmCE2020.2.

  3. [OPTIONAL] Add "{installation home}/bin" to your PATH environment

     variable so that you can start PyCharm from any directory.

  4. [OPTIONAL] To adjust the value of the JVM heap size, create a file pycharm.vmoptions

     (or pycharm64.vmoptions if using a 64-bit JDK) in the configuration directory and set the -Xms and -Xmx parameters. To see how to do this,

     you can reference the vmoptions file under "{installation home}/bin" as a model but do not modify it, add your options to the new file.

  [OPTIONAL] Change the location of the "config" and "system" directories

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  By default, PyCharm stores all your settings in the

  ~/.config/JetBrains/PyCharmCE2020.2 directory

  and uses ~/.local/share/JetBrains/PyCharmCE2020.2 as a data cache.

  To change the location of these directories:

  1. Open a console and cd into ~/.config/JetBrains/PyCharmCE2020.2

  2. Create a file idea.properties and set the idea.system.path and idea.config.path variables, for example:

     idea.system.path=~/custom/system

     idea.config.path=~/custom/config

  NOTE: Store the data cache ("system" directory) on a disk with at least 1 GB of free space.

Enjoy!
