Change phpstorms location after installation?

Created June 26, 2015 13:49

I am running phpstorm 8 on Linux(Debian) and (after setting it up nicely) find that I have to change PHPStorm's directory location from '~/Downloads/PHPStorm' to '~/Applications/PHPStorm'. How can I go about this and keep all my settings and launch icon intact?

Just move the whole PHPStorm directory to the desired location and then locate the

.desktop file (that is usually created in

~/.local/share/applications) and edit the path there
