Create Command-line Launcher Intellij not found


For Mac OS with +2019 Intellij:

  1. You'll need JetBrains ToolBox
  2. Turn on Generate shell scripts (no longer in tools > create command line launcher)enter image description here
  3. Set path to /usr/local/bin/
  4. Delete your old executable in /usr/local/bin/
  5. Quit and re-launch toolbox


As I said in the comments of the question.

At least when using Idea Community 2019.1 EAP + Jetbrains Toolbox, even in Linux that option is disabled.

You must access the Jetbrains Toolbox->settings (the gear next to the 'Log in' button), there will be a "Generate shell scripts" option and location to set.Set a location that you can access without sudo, and put that location on your PATH or copy the generated script to a path like /usr/local/bin.

I needed that to be able to use kscript --idea xxxx.kts(putting this here so that the next person googling that finds the answer :) )


This option is not available on Windows, otherwise you can find it in the Tools menu.

Tools | Create Command-line Launcher (available on Mac/Linux).

If IDE installation is managed by the JetBrains Toolbox, launcher options will not be available in the IDE and you should use Toolbox settings to create a launcher instead.
