Inside the directory containing IntelliJ, there will be abinfolder in which you will find a.shscript you can run to start it.

Add the bin folder to your path variable. Your path variable can be edited with sudo vi /etc/environment.
As with all sudo commands, care should be taken. Think before you write and don't just copy what i wrote.
in /etc/environment, you should see PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:[more path locations]"
in /etc/environment, Add the following line after the lasth path, before the double quote that ends the variable::/path/to/intelliJ/bin/folder.
In the case of the linked guide you would have to add: :/opt/idea-IC/bin.
Then you have to log out (or reboot) for the changes you made to take effect. Afterwards you should be able to start intelliJ by running the command idea.sh

Could you please explain why it's necessary to add IntelliJ to thePATHenvironment variable? What's the adavantage or difference compared to a direct invocation?
– David Foerster
Nov 11 '17 at 17:56
The advantage to adding it to the path variable is that you can call it from anywhere without having to enter the full path every time. - Unless i'm mistaken?

That's correct, but considering that OP's aim is to to follow the tutorial which suggests to start the application once which will then set up an application starter, I don't find your approach useful enough to justify the additional complexity. Hence the down-vote.

This comment helped me, as the application starter auto setup didn't work.

Add the bin folder to your path variable. Your path variable can be edited with sudo vi /etc/environment.
As with all sudo commands, care should be taken. Think before you write and don't just copy what i wrote.
in /etc/environment, you should see PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:[more path locations]"
in /etc/environment, Add the following line after the lasth path, before the double quote that ends the variable::/path/to/intelliJ/bin/folder.
In the case of the linked guide you would have to add: :/opt/idea-IC/bin.
Then you have to log out (or reboot) for the changes you made to take effect. Afterwards you should be able to start intelliJ by running the command idea.sh
