I'm looking to install a specific version of IntelliJ using Brew, as one of the add-ons I'm using is not supported in the latest version.

Is there a way in Brew to do that?

    Is using brew mandatory? You can download and install previous IDEA releases from here: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/previous.html, also there is a Toolbox app: https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/ – Petr Rastegaev Sep 22 '20 at 10:54

  • @PetrRastegaev I would like to use a terminal command for that rather than a UI. In the first link, a developer has to look manually for the right version and I'm looking to save them doing that – Dina Neishtadt Sep 24 '20 at 08:43
  • @KarthikeyanVaithilingam was hoping for something simpler honestly – Dina Neishtadt Sep 24 '20 at 08:44
  • What you mean simpler than installing specific version of a formula? Don't you want to install a "specific version of IntelliJ using Brew"? – Karthikeyan Sep 24 '20 at 08:53
  • @KarthikeyanVaithilingam I meant without scripting my own formula, was hoping for something ready made that wouldn't require maintenance – Dina Neishtadt Sep 24 '20 at 09:02
  • @DinaNeishtadt you don't have to create your own formula. There is an existing formula just do `brew install intellij-idea@` example `brew install intellij-idea@2020.1` – Karthikeyan Sep 24 '20 at 09:13
  • @KarthikeyanVaithilingam on Mac if I do `brew install intellij-idea@2020.1` or `brew install intellij-idea@2020.1.4`, I get error ` No similarly named formulae found` and `No formulae found in taps` – codewarrior Feb 22 '21 at 03:59
