Ok so I've downloaded pycharm-community-4.5.3.ta<wbr />r.gz to /Downloads on my Ubuntu laptop. I gunzipped it and tried to pipe it to tar xf - and that failed. So then I tried just tar xf - and the terminal window is just hanging for the last 15 minutes. I can't tell if the tar is happening or if I should abort. Thoughts?? I'm trying to follow the instructions from here:<br />

Installing Pycharm on Ubuntu

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
