I have installed Pycharm on Ubuntu 14.04 using this useful guide. However the installation is the Community one and I'd like to get the Pro version for which I have a licence.
Is there any way to upgrade or is it a case of uninstall and then follow this
guide which is much more hassle, but compatible with the download available at the Jetbrains site.
Like yourself, I'm a PyCharm Pro user - I gained this through my opensource developments.
The PyCharm Pro download is much larger than the community edition - this indicates that the extras bundled with Pro don't exist in the community edition. Hence - to gain the benefit of the Pro, you basically uninstall the community and reinstall the new version.
Its tidier to do it this way rather than untar'ing over the community install.
The only minor gotcha was that my local community installed edition created an icon desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications - this conflicted with the Pro version. Hence, you'll need to remove the local file first before the Pro version is recognised.
