Cannot create Pycharm launcher on Linux Mint

Question

I am trying to create a command line launcher for pycharm. My OS is Linux Mint. I am doing this by going Tools > Create Command-line launcher and following the default steps. However, I receive this error:

pycharm launcher script creation failed unsupported os/desktop: linux/gnome

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Linux Mint... what?

Assuming that you are running Linux Mint 19 Tara bionic beaver

I would recommend a snap installation

sudo snap install pycharm-community --classic

Once finished, run pycharm-community
