These formulae provide binary installs of software that, for whatever reason, aren't available or outdated in the package manager of your linux distro.
- This tap is ONLY for linux.
brew install athrunsun/linuxbinary/<formula>
Or brew tap athrunsun/linuxbinary
and then brew install <formula>
.
Or install via URL (which will not receive updates):
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/athrunsun/homebrew-linuxbinary/master/Formula/<formula>.rb
For jetbrans softwares (intellij-idea, pycharm, datagrip, etc.), if it's not a major upgrade, you don't need to download the newer version (which is much larger than downloading a patch) with brew
from this tap, instead, just check update within the software then download and apply a patch.
And to make it even more convenient, install jetbrains-toolbox from this tap with brew install athrunsun/linuxbinary/jetbrains-toolbox
to manage all of your jetbrains softwares. jetbrains-toolbox is also able to update itself. 👍
Jetbrains Toolbox is able to update itself, but once you do that, new executable will be installed as ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/bin/jetbrains-toolbox
, with a desktop entry /home/athrun/.local/share/applications/jetbrains-toolbox.desktop
.
So once you did the update, use the *.desktop
entry (which is usually accessed in application menu of your desktop) to launch toolbox, instead of executing jbtool
(which is still the old version).
