Can I run CLion with different environment under Linux ?
已回答
I'm using CLion 2017.3, running on ubuntu 16.04.
I work with embedded device, and I have several sdk. Typically, I have different terminal set with different environment (provided by complex script). I didn't find a way to run CLion several time (in the different environment), each time I got a message "Already running", which is true of course ... It's painful because I need to work on different environment in same time, and so I need to close/reload CLion each time I need to change the environment.
Is there a workaround to be able to run CLion at same time under different environment ?
Thank you,
Best regards,
Yohan

Hi, Yohan.
Please take a look at the following SO article: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5889413/start-two-instances-of-intellij-ide. Does that help?
Hi Anna,
Thank you, yes it helps !
I can now run several instances with several differents environment in same time, great.
I have a question though; I created 2 new folders (says instance1, instance2) and copying /config, /plugins, /system and idea.properties inside, then modifying idea.properties to match new folders. What will happen on CLion update ? Does I need to recreate entirely the folders "instance#", or merge the previous folder (system, plugin and config) with the new ones, or just do nothing (update will not disturb the instances) ?
Thank you !
Update by running an installer will update the default installation, the custom one should be updated manually. Applying an update patch through the IDE should update the current IDE just fine.
Great thank you !
