We currently distribute IntelliJ IDEA EAP Community and IntelliJ IDEA EAP Ultimate from the Edge channel where we store our EAP builds. Look at this article to install and configure WSL2 and download and install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or later, snaps come pre-installed. Make sure you have the right version of windows to run WSL, which is Windows 10 Version 1607 (Anniversary Update) you can run > winver in a console to verify that ( will use > for commands that need to be run in PowerShell or windows Cmd) Well, after talking to friends and reading a bunch of blog posts, I figured it is not that difficult to run linux GUI apps in windows! there are the steps to install IntelliJ Idea in WSL Ubuntu 18. So I turned to WSL2! The Windows Subsystem for linux is amazing! but I can’t run UI applications there… or can I? I really think HyperV is not really an evolved platform to run VMs. I am new to Java development, I really want to understand the platform and as close as I can to the environment apps would actually run, that means Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.Īt the beginning I started by installing the IDE of my choice that is IntelliJ Idea, because I am such a big fan of Resharper I didn’t even think about any other IDE I created a Linux VM and started there, and while it works fine, I found myself having the same network issues that I get every time I try VMs.
