Run DataGrip for the first time
You can use the Toolbox App to run any JetBrains product. In the case of a standalone installation, running DataGrip depends on the operating system:
To run DataGrip, find it in the Windows Start menu or use the desktop shortcut. You can also run the launcher batch script or executable in the installation directory under bin.
Run the DataGrip app from the Applications directory, Launchpad, or Spotlight.
Run the datagrip.sh shell script in the installation directory under bin. You can also use the desktop shortcut if it was created during installation.
Import settings
When you launch your DataGrip for the first time, you will see the Import Settings dialog with the list of other IDE's settings found on your machine.
Select from which IDE you want to import settings.
If you use several JetBrains IDEs, select the one with the preferred settings from the drop-down list or click Other Options to select IDEs used more than 6 months ago.
Select which settings you want to import and click Import Settings.
You will see a confirmation that the settings have been successfully imported.

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the settings dialog. The settings that you modify at this moment will become the new default configuration for your projects and the IDE.
