Phpstorm TO GLOBAL path

I downloaded Phpstorm (Linux version), and I can run the program by executing phpstorm.sh file in /bin.

But how can I run this from the terminal with the command phpstorm?

Mathod 1: Add the desired directory to the PATH

export PATH=/user/local/program_name/bin:$PATH

Change /user/local/program_name/bin with the location of your program.

then do:

source ~/.bashrc

Mathod 2: Alternativly you can create a symlink by doing something like,

sudo ln -s /user/local/program_name/bin/phpStorm_executable_file_name.sh /usr/bin/the_name_under_witch_you_wish_to_start_the_program

Replace /user/local/program_name/bin/phpStorm_executable_file_name.sh with the correct path/filename
