How to launch RubyMine 3.2.4 in Ubuntu 11.04?

IMO, the best way is to use Gnome-do. Google it and you'll know.

My workflow:
- Right Click on Applications -> Edit Menus -> Choose Programming  Menu -> Click New Item. Type: Application *In Terminal* (this gives you a shell that lets you know what RM is doing), Name: RubyMine, Command: /path/to/rubymine_latest/bin/rubymine.sh

(Of course, I do this once and use the symlinks to link rubymine_latest to the latest RM update I download. This helps to switch between various RM's).

And of course, I'd want RM team to sort of automate this for me!

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help!


Regarding the rubymine.sh script, is this the same script I ran to install RubyMine in the first place? For me, I downloaded and extracted RubyMine to the following directory:


/usr/tmp/RubyMine.3.2.4


And the script is located here: (before installaion)



/usr/tmp/RubyMine.3.2.4/bin/rubymine.sh


Or do you refer to the script in some other "bin" directory after installation?

I'd say it is /usr/tmp/RubyMine.3.2.4/bin/rubymine.sh in your case.

BTW, /usr/tmp does not look like something you'd want to install RM in :-)

Thanks for the advice. I have some more questions:

• The /usr/tmp/RubyMine.3.2.4 directory is where I extracted the original .gz package into, and then I ran /usr/tmp/RubyMine.3.2.4/bin/rubymine.sh to install it. Given that after installation I have to run the very same installation script to launch the application, does that mean installation is done in place off the original directory? (I am from a pure Windows background and not familiar with the installation idiom in Linux world.)  
• What is the "right" directory to install applications such as RubyMine?

Thanks!

I ususally download and install rubymine tarball in my own directory. I save the file in /home/user/Download, extract the file in /home/user/RubyMine3.2.4 and rename it to /home/user/RubyMine.
Then I create a shortcut on the desktop (right click -> create a lancer) and add /home/user/RubyMine/bin/rubymine.sh in the command field and I change the icon with the one provided by Jetbrains in /home/user/RubyMine/bin/RMlogo.svg

Thanks all for the great help!
