download_latest_linux_pycharm.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# This will download the latest Linux version of PyCharm, a tarball that works on Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc, etc...
# You can just paste it into your terminal, put it in a shell script and execute it, our simply source it.

#
# (Edited multiple times for quotes and other silly things)
#
# Dependencies:
#  - wget
#  - jq
#  - bash
#
# Debian:
#  $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install jq wget
# RHEL / Fedora/ CentOS:
#  $ sudo yum install wget jq
# Arch:
#  $ sudo pacman -S wget jw
#
# TO futureproof this a little, you may want to change the tar -xvf bit to use 7z as it will know what to do in the event
# that PyCharm is moved from being a tar file. This is really supposed to be a one-liner, not a shell script, so I am not
# adding logic on how to to handle different compressed filetypes, or doing any other validation, though '&&' is used as
# much as possible to detect failures, halt, then catch fire in a clean way :>
