MAC Intellij 2020 installation


I have Intellij2019 installed on my MAC and recently I downloaded and installed Intellij2020 so the Applications folder contains two .app links the "Intellij Idea" and the "Intellij Idea 2020".

When I run the idea command from the command line I see it launches the 2019 version. The /usr/local/bin/idea I can see is pointing to 2019. Is there anyway I can install the 2020 command line version?


Solution

  • When running IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1 use Tools | Create Command-line Launcher.

    If the app is installed via Toolbox, there is also an option to create command-line launchers automatically.
