intellijubuntu-make
On Ubuntu 16.04, running umake ide idea returns:
usage: umake ide [-h] {lighttable,visual-studio-code} ...
umake ide: error: argument framework: invalid choice: 'idea' (choose from 'lighttable', 'visual-studio-code')
Ubuntu Make is giving me only two options of IDEs to install: lighttable and visual-studio-code. But, according to the man page and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-make, there should be many more options ("idea" among them). What's wrong?
I wrote a little manual how to fix this. Note: that it is only for 64-bit. architecture.
wget https://cloud.urshulyak.com/index.php/s/kcBfJQDyQABcbjz/download &&
mv download jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz &&
tar -zxvf jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz &&
sudo mv jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08 /usr/lib/jvm &&
rm jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz
Script to start Intellij Idea
*only note that need to change IDEA_HOME location for your path of idea
#!/bin/sh
IDEA_HOME=/opt/idea
# for old idea JAVA_HOME, for new 2016+ will be IDEA_JDK
#export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08/
export IDEA_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08/
export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd \
-Dsun.java2d.xrender=true"
export GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=this-is-deprecated
exec $IDEA_HOME/bin/idea.sh "$@"
Result:
I installed via "Ubuntu Software"
my location is /snap/intellij-idea-ultimate/current/bin
to locate bin folder I have used:
/snap/..., Home/..., /var/snap..., /run/user... and more

The version of ubuntu-make in the 16.04 packages doesn't support IntelliJ. According to TechGeeks you will need at least version 16.03 (the one in Ubuntu 16.04 is 16.02.1). To do this, execute the following (if this is a new install):
If you still have it installed, you can just do the following:
This got my ubuntu-make version up to 16.09 and I was able to install IntelliJ IDEA using the command you used in your post.
