I installed plug-in 'Intellij-Solidity' in Intellij Idea. But I did not found any new project option to create . Is there any environment setup for solidity programming. I use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS .

    I would assume the plugin is for syntax highlighting only – Mikko Ohtamaa Jun 13 '17 at 15:10

    absolutely, Do u have any idea how to run solidity program using Intellij idea? – Gopal ojha Jun 14 '17 at 10:35
  • @Gopalojha. I don't think you can "run" solidity programs afaiak in IntelliJ yet. Smart contracts written in solidity(.sol) are deployed on test or live net after they are compiled(using solc etc). – bitsabhi Feb 19 '18 at 12:57

If it is simply smart contracts you are interested in developing you might find it easier and more supported to use Remix online IDE (previous version is Browser Solidity online compiler)

Starting version 2.1.0, Intellij Solidity plugin supports running solidity functions directly in IDEA. It will use an EthereumJ standalone node (refer to Solidity settings to configure/download EthereumJ)
