Setup

Compatible IDE platforms

To be compatible with the new version of the development tools, your existing Intellij IDEA installation must be based on one of the following IDE platforms on Windows, OS X, or Linux operating systems:

  • IntelliJ IDEA 15
  • PhpStorm 10, 2016.1, 2016.2
  • PyCharm 5
  • WebStorm 11

It is important to use a commercial edition instead of a community edition because the APS tools requires the UML (Unified Modelling Language) support for the APS Types Diagram viewer. Only commercial editions support UML.

If you do not have an IDE installed yet, you can download the needed IDE from the JetBrains web site . Run the installed product and enter the license key as required.

  1. Open the PhpStorm Preferences.

  2. In the navigation panel, select Plugins.
