Install Jetbrains Toolbox on Ubuntu 22.04

If you have access to more than one of the JetBrains products I have found using the toolbox to install and manage them can be more convenient than the snap packages in Ubuntu itself. I often find it quite interesting to load up JetBrains Toolbox and see what new applications are available (since i don’t get email updates from them).

To install the JetBrains Toolbox on Ubuntu 22.04, first the following package will need to be installed:

sudo apt install libfuse2

Now download the JetBrains Toolbox from their website: https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/

Once downloaded extract the zip/tar.gz changing the version number as appropriate

tar xvzf ~/Downloads/jetbrains-toolbox-1.27.2.13801.tar.gz

run it either via command line ./jetbrains-toolbox or via the UI. It should install the toolbox and it should appear in the system tray.
