Install DataGrip on Ubuntu 24.04

DataGrip, developed by JetBrains, is a versatile database integrated development environment (IDE) that supports numerous database systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and more. This tutorial demonstrates how to install DataGrip on Ubuntu 24.04.

Install DataGrip

Begin by retrieving the latest stable version of DataGrip using JetBrains API:

DATAGRIP_VERSION=$(curl -s "https://data.services.jetbrains.com/products/releases?code=DG&latest=true&type=release" | grep -Po '"version":"\K[0-9.]+')

Download the associated archive for this version:

wget -O datagrip.tar.gz https://download.jetbrains.com/datagrip/datagrip-$DATAGRIP_VERSION.tar.gz

Create a directory for the DataGrip and extract the archive contents into it:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/datagrip

sudo tar xf datagrip.tar.gz --strip-components=1 -C /opt/datagrip

Remove the downloaded archive:

rm -rf datagrip.tar.gz

Testing DataGrip

You can now start DataGrip by executing the following command:

/opt/datagrip/bin/datagrip

When the application opens, you'll have the option to create a desktop entry for easier access in the future.

Uninstall DataGrip

To uninstall DataGrip completely from the system, remove its installation directory:

sudo rm -rf /opt/datagrip

If you added a launcher shortcut, delete it as well:

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/applications/jetbrains-datagrip.desktop

Optionally, purge related user-specific configuration and cache files:

rm -rf ~/.{cache,config,local/share}/JetBrains/DataGrip*
