Unpack the `RubyMine-.tar.gz` file to an empty directory using the following command: `tar xfz RubyMine-.tar.gz` Because running RubyMine from wherever you downloaded the file to may be inconvenient, it is recommended that you move the extracted or unpacked archive folder to the desired location using the `mv` command in one of the following formats: `mv <path to extracted archive folder> <new archive folder>` For example: `mv /downloads/RubyMine- my/desired/location` `mv <path to RubyMine-.tar.gz> <new archive folder>` For example: `mv /downloads/RubyMine-.tar.gz my/desired/location` Switch to the `bin` directory in the new location: `cd <new archive folder>/RubyMine-/bin` For example, `cd my/desired/location/RubyMine-/bin` Run `RubyMine.sh` from the `bin` subdirectory.

Because running RubyMine from wherever you downloaded the file to may be inconvenient, it is recommended that you move the extracted or unpacked archive folder to the desired location using the mv command in one of the following formats:
- mv <path to extracted archive folder> <new archive folder>
  For example:
  mv /downloads/RubyMine-* my/desired/location
- mv <path to RubyMine-*.tar.gz> <new archive folder>
  For example:
  mv /downloads/RubyMine-*.tar.gz my/desired/location
Switch to the bin directory in the new location:
cd <new archive folder>/RubyMine-*/bin
For example,
cd my/desired/location/RubyMine-*/bin
Run RubyMine.sh from the bin subdirectory.
