Any distro: Flatpak from Flathub
Flathub lists it as “CLion” (com.jetbrains.CLion), described as “A cross-platform IDE for C and C++”. The listing is not verified, so JetBrains has not confirmed it as its own package; Flathub shows “JetBrains s.r.o.” as the developer name. It has been installed 177,847 times, number 87 of the 94 apps in our catalog that have a Flathub install count. Flathub does not flag its license as free software, so it may be proprietary.
Linux Mint, Pop!_OS and Zorin OS have Flathub enabled out of the box, Fedora offers it as an optional third-party repository, and on Ubuntu you install Flatpak first.
Which install method should you use for CLion?
Use Flatpak: Flathub is the only install method in our data besides the vendor’s download.
- JetBrains’s own download. JetBrains publishes the Linux version itself on its website.
- Flatpak from Flathub. It is not a verified listing, so check that you trust its maintainer. No distro repository we track carries this app, so it is the route that works on any distro.
