PhpStormINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS=============================================================================== Linux Installation Instructions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Unpack the PhpStorm distribution archive that you downloaded to where you wish to install the program. We will refer to this destination location as your {installation home} below. 2. Open a console and cd into "{installation home}/bin" and type: ./phpstorm.sh to start the application. 3. [OPTIONAL] Add the "{installation home}/bin" to your PATH environmental variable so that you may start PhpStorm from any directory. 4. [OPTIONAL] To adjust the value of JVM heap size open phpstorm.vmoptions (phpstorm64.vmoptions for 64-bit JDK), and modify the -Xms and -Xmx parameters. [OPTIONAL] Changing location of "config" and "system" directory ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By default PhpStorm stores all your settings under ~/.WebIde80/config directory and stores data cache under ~/.WebIde80/system directory. If you want to change these settings, 1. Open a console and cd into "{installation home}/bin" 2. Open file "idea.properties" in an editor. You should find strings like idea.system.path=~/.WebIde/system and idea.config.path=~/.WebIde/config and change them. 3. Note that we recommend to store data cache ("system" directory) at a disk with at least 1G bytes free spaceEnjoy!-PhpStorm Development Team
