Installing the plugin into IntelliJ IDEA

Installation of the Mevenide IDEA plugin can be done in two ways:

  1. Automatic installation
  2. Manual installation

Automatic installation

Installing Mevenide IDEA is done via the IDEA plugins manager:

  1. Open the Settings window (from the toolbar, or press CTRL+ALT+S)
  2. Click the Plugins icon to open the plugin manager:

  3. Click the Available tag, to download the list of available plugins, then, search for the Mevenide IDEA Integration plugin in the list. Once you've found it - right click it and select Download and install plugin.

  4. IDEA will notify you that you have to restart it in order to activate the plugin (answering Yes will close IDEA for you, but you need to start IDEA manually).

Manual installation

To manually install the plugin, please follow these steps:

  1. Download the plugin
  2. Shutdown IDEA.
  3. Extract it right onto your plugins directory. This directory is located in one of two places:
    • Under ".IntelliJ/config" in your home directory (on Windows - C:\Documents and Settings\Joe or ~/joe on Linux/UNIX).
    • In your IntelliJ installation directory.
    If both exist, use the one in your home directory. After you extract it, the plugins directory should contain a directory called "mevenide-idea".
  4. Start IDEA again.
