Detect exact version of IntelliJ from text-only directory structure

0

I'm going through setting up a computer and wanted to see the exact version of IntelliJ I had on another Ubuntu computer that is in text-only mode i.e. I can only navigate the folder structure and run basic terminal applications.

Is there a way on the command line with Ubuntu detect which exact release I am using?


As an example, I am definitely using version 12, but how do I see whether it is version 12.1.4 installed or version 12.04.

Thank you in advance

The downloaded folder is called idea-UI-129.239

Perhaps the launcher for IntelliJ responds to the --version option. – Dan D. – 2014-01-29T10:15:20.047

When you start IntelliJ from the command line, the launcher is what you use. – Dan D. – 2014-01-29T10:28:44.103

no luck. HeadlessException because there's no X11 – Crowie – 2014-01-29T10:43:38.640

Go to IDEA root folder and output build.txt file by using cat command:

idea-IU-133.193$ cat build.txt

IU-133.696

idea-IU-133.193$

You will get last number of build. Here you can find the version IDEA by build number.
