How can I update IntelliJ IDEA?

I am running IntelliJ IDEA 11.0 on Mac OS X. I know it has an update 11.0.1. But when I used Check for update, it said I am already running the latest version.

Please tell me how can I upgrade to version 11.0.1?

Thank you.

You can manually check for updates:

Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S) > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Updates > Check for Updates...

You will get a notification asking you to restart the IDE to apply the update once it is complete, but you can still use the IDE while the update is being downloaded and there is no automatic restart.

As of 2023, automatic Downloads require the separate Toolbox App from JetBrains.

EDIT: This method does not seem to work for upgrading beyond 2024.1

Toolbox app is now required for updating intellij.

Probably you have a connection problem or your proxy/firewall blocks IDEA access to the site where it checks for updates.

I've tried it on my Mac and Windows machines and it works fine: Mac Update

In any case, you can just download and install the complete version from .dmg file. Your license, settings and plugins will be preserved and the old version can be moved to Trash.
