Ubuntu – Location of Intellij Idea 2017.1 on ubuntu 16.04

intellij

Long back I have installed Intellij idea. I want to completely remove it now.
I deleted /usr/local/bin/idea
I delete ~/.IntellXXX directory

I don't see any result if do 'which idea' or 'whereis idea'

However I am still able to find idea and launch it through 'search your computer'
I am wondering where is idea installed and is still getting launched.

I installed via "Ubuntu Software"

my location is /snap/intellij-idea-ultimate/current/bin

to locate bin folder I have used:

(needed to increase RAM)
"Files" [CTRL + F] "idea"
found that: /snap/..., Home/..., /var/snap..., /run/user... and more

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.

Ubuntu – Why can’t Ubuntu Make install Intellij IDEA on 16.04

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):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ubuntu-make

If you still have it installed, you can just do the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

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.
