Setting up winIDEA with Snap
Snap offers a number of advantages over traditional package management systems, including portability, atomic updates, confined execution, automatic updates, rollback, and easy installation. It is recommended to use it for a single installation on the system (lower disk usage).
You can install BlueBox tools on Linux for verified builds (monthly) and weekly builds.

Only one version of Snap container can be installed on the system. |
Installation steps
1. Install the Snap image.
•From the Snap store:
$ sudo snap install --classic winidea
•From the local disk (in case the official server is not reachable from host):
a. Download the winIDEA Snap image and copy it to the host. Contact Technical Support if you don’t know the download link.
b. Install the image.
$ sudo snap install --dangerous <path to image file>
2. Run winIDEA from Snap with winIDEA command line arguments <optional args>.
