JetBrains products are easy to install from the tarballs it releases:

 * Switch to an appropriate directory, e.g. {{{/opt/}}}
 * {{{~$ tar xzvf <path-to-tarball>}}}

For example, if PyCharm displays displays the error [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69709251/failed-to-create-virtual-environment-in-pycharm|failed to create virtual environment]], the solution is to run {{{~# apt install python3-venv}}}
