How to install Pycharm in Ubuntu 12.04?

Hi,

I just downloaded the trial version of Pycharm and cant see any install.txt. How do I install this app?

Thanks,

Houman

Unpack the archive, run bin/pycharm.sh, accept the option to create a desktop entry that's offered in the initial configuration dialog. Then you'll be able to start it directly from the desktop.

Thanks for your reply.

Do I better move the extracted directory "pycharm-2.5.1" from downloads to my home directory before I run the script?

Yes, that would be better.

How comes that I accomplished these steps but don't see any shortcuts on the desktop?

In Linux, PyCharm doesn't create shortcuts on your desktop, since there's actually no installer.
You can easily create a shortcut to pycharm-2.x.x/bin/pycharm.sh from your desktop.

In addition, you must have Oracle's Java JDK installed FIRST.
