✅ Install Rider on Ubuntu from .tar.gz archive
So far I've found 2 sets of instructions to just extract the Rider.tar.gz contents to
/opt/ and then run /opt/<rider>/bin/rider.sh, but that runs Rider from a terminal, and I'd much rather I could just run the executable from my Avitivities sidebar.
How can I properly install Rider using the archive I have. I don't have bandwidth to download it again using Snap or some other method.2 Replies
Best way would be to install the toolbox. for next time
You need to either create an appimage or copy certain contents to certain folders, the latter is way more annoying.
Toolbox is a hub for all JetBrains products, so you can easily install and manage your installations, also auto-update is available as an option.
Look up how to make a .desktop file for your desktop environment, and where to put it
