Correctly updating IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition

I have IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition. I haven't been updating it for a while, so I received a notification asking me to update it:

Update notification dialogue

Clicking on Download brings me to this link, asking me therefore to download a 408MB .tar.gz file. Does it mean that if I want the updates I should install IntelliJ from the beginning again? Can I update it without going through all the installation process again?
