Custom install
Answered
Hello everyone,
I work in a huge company. We want to save time and simplify the installation process of our Java environment. For this, we would like to create a preconfigurated package of an Intellij installation. This package would then be deployed on user computers through our "Software Center".
Can I customize (for example Intellij's "Settings") an installation of Intellij to preconfigure all of our workstations?
Thanks.

You can customize it for one user/machine, then use File | Export Settings, then unpack the produced jar file for other users/systems (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544519) using your customized installer.
Thanks a lot Serge :)
Hi Serge,
Where can I find an ZIP IntelliJ installer ?
Thanks
You can find it at http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html:
Oh sorry,
I haven't seen the arrow button :)
Thanks
Hi, I am an instructor hoping to create a custom installer (Mac and Windows) of PyCharm that will include custom settings. Because of the nature of the audience I do not want to make each student import the settings file or default the correct version of Python; I would like the installer to do all of that for them. Is this possible?
Everything is possible with a custom installer, you just need to populate the Configuration directory with some pre-existing settings after installing the IDE.
So I would like to offer a one-step solution where the student instals the IDE and it is already configured. Is there a way to pre-populate the settings so the installer is preconfigured to use them?
You will need to create your own installer which will first run the original installer and then populate the settings directory.
