Use WebStorm features from the command line: open files and projects, view diffs, merge files, apply code style, formatting, and inspect the source code. The installation directory contains batch scripts and executables for launching WebStorm, formatting the source code, and running inspections. To use them from the
Command Prompt cmd.exe, add the location of the WebStorm bin folder to the PATH environment variable. For example, if you installed WebStorm to C:\Program Files\JetBrains\WebStorm, you can use the following command: set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\JetBrains\WebStorm\bin This command changes the PATH environment variable for the current shell only (the current instance of
cmd.exe). If you want to update it permanently for the current user, run setx: setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\JetBrains\WebStorm\bin" To update it system-wide for all users, run setx /M instead of setx. After you configure the PATH variable, you can run the executable from any working directory in the Command Prompt: webstorm64.exe. Alternatively, you can use the batch script: webstorm.bat. To run WebStorm from the shell, use the open command with the following options: -a: specify the application. --args: specify additional arguments when passing more than just the file or directory to open. -n: open a new instance of the application even if one is already running. For
example, you can run WebStorm.app with the following command: open -na "WebStorm.app" You can create a shell script with this command in a directory from your PATH environment variable. For example, create the file /usr/local/bin/webstorm with the following contents: #!/bin/sh open -na "WebStorm.app" --args "$@" Make sure you have permissions to execute the script and since
/usr/local/bin should be in the PATH environment variable by default, you should be able to run webstorm from anywhere in the shell. On Linux, the installation directory contains the launcher shell script webstorm.sh under bin. For example, if you installed WebStorm to /opt/webstorm, you can run the script using the following command: /opt/webstorm/bin/webstorm.sh You can create a symbolic link to the launcher script in a directory from the PATH environment variable. For example, if you installed WebStorm to /opt/webstorm and want to create a link named webstorm in /usr/local/bin, run the following command: ln -s /opt/webstorm/bin/webstorm.sh /usr/local/bin/webstorm Since /usr/local/bin should be in the PATH environment variable by default, you should be able to run the webstorm command from anywhere in the shell. If you are using the Toolbox App to install and manage JetBrains products, you can use shell scripts for launching your IDEs from the command line. Toolbox App generates shell scripts automatically and places them to the following folders: %LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\Toolbox\scripts By default, the Toolbox App puts shell scripts in a directory from the system PATH environment variable, so you can run the name of the script as a command to launch WebStorm from any working directory. Change shell scripts location
Rename shell scriptsIf you have several versions of the same IDE, the Toolbox App generates a shell script for each version with a unique name. You can change the name of the shell script for an IDE instance in the settings for this specific instance.
/usr/local/bin or ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/scripts By default, the Toolbox App puts shell scripts in a directory from the system PATH environment variable, so you can run the name of the script as a command to launch WebStorm from any working directory. Change shell scripts location
Rename shell scriptsIf you have several versions of the same IDE, the Toolbox App generates a shell script for each version with a unique name. You can change the name of the shell script for an IDE instance in the settings for this specific instance.
~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/scripts By default, the Toolbox App puts shell scripts in a directory from the system PATH environment variable, so you can run the name of the script as a command to launch WebStorm from any working directory. Change shell scripts location

Command-line argumentsThe launcher script accepts commands, options, and other arguments to modify its behavior:
Last modified: 25 July 2022 How do I fix not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file?You can resolve this issue in three ways: First, use the full path of the executable file to launch the program. Second, add the program path to Windows environment variables. Finally, move the files to the System32 folder.
What is ln command in Windows?The ln utility only works on NTFS file systems. ln creates links to one or more files or directories. A normal hard link is a new directory entry that refers to the same file, either in the directory that currently contains the file or in a different directory.
Is not Recognised as an internal or external command?The “Python is not recognized as an internal or external command” error is encountered in the command prompt of Windows. The error is caused when Python's executable file is not found in an environment variable as a result of the Python command in the Windows command prompt.
What ln command do in Linux?What is the Linux ln command? The ln command is used to create links to files or directories. (“ln” is short for “link”.) The command is given to the Linux command line (also called the shell), which can be opened and operated using a terminal window.
