Open Clion from terminal

Question

I've been trying to set a path to Clion directory in my computer in order to open this program with a command in terminal, but it didn't worked.

If you read this and asked yourself: "what?". I want to start a C++ project like I did with a normal text editor(I used to write codes with gedit).

I want something like, make a hello world:

Clion helloWorld.cpp &

And it will open a new project, named helloWorld, and then I can write down the code.

If it is impossible to do that, sorry.

For Mac users, you need to add following row in ~/.bash_profile:

alias clion='open -na "CLion.app" --args "$@"'

Then from the terminal you can run CLion:

clion /path-to-your-project
