IntelliJ IDEA

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
===============================================================================
Windows Installation Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Unpack the IntelliJ IDEA distribution file that you downloaded to
where you wish to install the program. We will refer to this destination
location as your {installation home} below.
2. [OPTIONAL] Add the "{installation home}/bin" to your PATH environmental
variable so that you may start IntelliJ IDEA from any directory.
3. [OPTIONAL] To adjust the value of JVM heap size open idea.exe.vmoptions and
modify the -Xms and -Xmx options.
4. Open a console and cd into "{installation home}/bin" and type:
idea.bat
to start the application.

[OPTIONAL] Changing location of "config" and "system" directory

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By default IDEA stores all your settings under ~/.IntelliJIdea10/config direct
ory
and stores data cache under ~/.IntelliJIdea10/system directory
(~ means your home directory). If you want to change these settings,
1. Open a console and cd into "{installation home}/bin"
2. Open file "idea.properties" in an editor. You should find strings like
idea.system.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea10/system
and
idea.config.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea10/config
and change them.
3. Note that we recommend to store data cache ("system" directory) at a disk
with at least 1G bytes free space

[OPTIONAL] Associate "*.ipr" files (IDEA project files) with IntelliJ IDEA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Open a console and cd into "{installation home}/bin"
2. If your installation directory is NOT "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ
IDEA 10.0",
edit file "ipr.reg" (you should replace all occurrences of
"C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 10.0")
3. From "{installation home}" type:
ipr.reg
 to add information about "*.ipr" files to registry.

Enjoy!
