WebStorm unofficial Flatpak wrapper

This version is running inside a container and is therefore not able to access SDKs on your host system!

How to run commands on the host system

To execute commands on the host system, run WebStorm with:

$ flatpak run --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak com.jetbrains.WebStorm

And this inside the sandbox:

$ flatpak-spawn --host <COMMAND>

This allows applications to launch arbitrary commands on the host. This must not be used unless absolutely necessary and when no existing solutions using Flatpak or portals exist. This is are considered a security issue, use at your risk.

To make it permanent

$ flatpak override --user < --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak com.jetbrains.WebStorm

To make the Integrated Terminal automatically use the host system's shell, you can modify Settings > Tools > Terminal > Shell path to

/usr/bin/env -- flatpak-spawn --host bash

Flatpak standard SDK

This flatpak provides a standard development environment (gcc, python, etc). To see what's available:

$ flatpak run --command=sh com.jetbrains.WebStorm
$ ls /usr/bin (shared runtime)
$ ls /app/bin (bundled with this flatpak)

Node.js extensions

To get support for Node.js, you have to install SDK extension

$ flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.node24
