Ubuntu – Intellij idea not opening because of jdk/bin/java

intellijjavajdk

I am relatively new to ubuntu. i am using idea intellij from jetbrains for developing applications with gwt and java. Recently i have installed ubuntu 14.04 and everything works fine but idea 13. I have jdki586-1.7 and i have installed it using this tutorial. Then i have extracted intellij to my home directory and tried to launch idea.sh from terminal with:

./idea.sh

from path/to/idea/bin directory. But, it gave me this error:

./idea.sh: 1: eval: /usr/local/java/jdk1.7.0_51/bin/java: not found

I have searched through the Internet, but couldn't find similar topic.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

I had a same issue but the above answer did not solve my issue. I had to switch as a root user then running idea.sh worked fine without any issue. May be a permission issue or setting $PATH may be the issue.

}

Run
```

/usr/bin/java it is not a directory to JDK is command for running compiled java programs .class files.

For setup JDK in IntelliJ go to Project Structure in section Platform Settings choose SDKs and add path to JDK usually on Ubuntu it installed in /usr/lib/jvm/. After that in section Project Settings choose Project tab and finally select added JDK:
