installing rubymine on ubuntu

Question

I'm new to ubuntu, and installed rubymine as they say on site, after installation I didn't find any app shortcut or new files, so for now I'm running the using the same script I wrote to install it, and I really don't like it, the files are in my downloads folder.

What to do?

Answer 1

The easiest way to reach this is to launch File | Create Launcher command. It will register mine command for launching RubyMine. However you can do this manually: Once you've unpacked RubyMine you can easily create symbolic link using the following command: sudo ln -s $path_to_installation/bin/rubymine.sh /usr/local/bin/mine. After executing this command it you'll be able to launch RubyMine using mine command.

Answer 2

May have changed in newer versions of RubyMine, but on RubyMine 5.4 on Ubuntu 12.10, I found it under "Tools | Create Command Line Launcher" (Tools, instead of under File). Wouldn't have found it at all if not for Oleg's suggestion, though, thanks!
