1. Download JetBrains Toolbox

open your system browser and visit the official download page using the embed link and save the .tar.gz archive of Toolbox on your system.

2. Install libfuse2

Also, install libfuse2 before running the APP image of JetBrains Toolbox otherwise you would get an error:

dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2

AppImages require FUSE to run. 
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage 
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. 
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE 
for more information

To install use:

$ sudo apt install libfuse2

3. Extract the Toolbox tar.gz file

The downloaded file of the JetBrains Toolbox will be in Tar.gz format, so we have to extract it.

Assuming the download was done in the default directory:

$ cd Downloads

Extract the file:

$ tar -xzf jetbrains-toolbox-*.tar.gz --one-top-level=jetbrains --strip-components 1

Switch to extracted:

$ cd jetbrains

4. Install JetBrains Toolbox

Now, finally, we run the AppImage application bundle of JetBrains toolbox available inside the extracted directory:

$ ./jetbrains-toolbox

Running the above command will automatically install and create an Application shortcut for JetBrains’s Toolbox.

The JetBrains Toolbox installation directory path is ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/bin/jetbrains-toolbox.
