How to install two different versions of IntelliJ IDEA (Ultimate Ed.) using Homebrew to custom locations/file names?

I normally install the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA (Ultimate Edition) by Homebrew on macOS:

```
brew install intellij-idea
```

and it installs it at /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app .

For some reason, I need to install an earlier version of it too but to a different place/file name

/Applications/IntelliJ_IDEA_2024.3.2.1.app

Any help?

To install both versions of IntelliJ IDEA you need to add the version number to the brew install command so each version will keep a different name: brew install <formula>@<version>

Below are a couple of useful links:

Also, an easy way to maintain multiple versions side by side is installing JetBrains Toolbox App to handle several versions of the same IDE.
