No dropdown option of IntelliJ in IDE version of Remote Development using SSH in JetBrains Gateway

1.1k Views Asked by At

I am trying to connect to a remote server using JetBrains Gateway, so that I can use IntelliJ IDE for code changing purposes.

I do see the Other options... link. But the following options seem like they are to be used if no IDE is installed :

You need to run a script to turn the server on

"The main script to run a remote IDE is remote-dev-server.sh, located in the bin subdirectory of your unpacked IDE"

From the Jetbrains instructions here

You can download a Linux version IDE on your local PC from Jetbrains and use the 'Upload installer file' option. Then the Gateway will upload and install this file to the remote server.

PS. The downloaded IDE file would be like 'ideaIU-2023.2.1.tar.gz'
