Installing IntelliJ

Installation

We use the IntelliJ IDEA editor and toolsuite to make all normal code changes, so we strongly encourage everyone who wants to view, edit, and/or contribute to code to use the same IDE.

Getting the Installer

You can get IntelliJ IDEA Community from the Jetbrains website here. Make sure to scroll down to the "IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition" section and download the community edition of IntelliJ. Or else, the Ultimate edition will require paid licensing.

Configuration

The third-party maintained/provided FRC Plugin for IntelliJ works very well, we recommend you install it to get access to some nice features (such as automatic WPILib gradle updates, and live RIOLog monitoring).

Refer to the IntelliJ documentation on how to install plugins.
