help upgrading Webstorm in ubuntu 15.10
i need help installing webstorm upgrade.
i installed webstorm-11.0.1 through the ./webstorm.sh file.
this created a icon in the appllications folder that runs the app.
it aso created /.webstorm11 folder with configuration files in the home folder.
i tried to install webstorm-11.0.2 same way by running the ./webstorm.sh file.
since i thought it only creates a launcher icon in the applications menu, that runs the app from it's directory,
i thought it will override my current launcher icon and install the new one but it doesn't.
and i get some warnings in the terminal also which i don't understand. ( in the photo below)
the actual question - how do i install the new version of webstorm on ubuntu if i currently have a lesser version installed???

webstorm.sh file runs the application, it's not the installer. To install WebStorm, you just need to extract the downloaded archive to preferred empty (!) directory
Please delete or rename the previous WebStorm entry and then create a new one for WebStorm 11.0.2 from Tools| Create desktop entry.
