You can also try my ubuntu repository: https://launchpad.net/~mmk2410/+archive/ubuntu/intellij-idea

To use it just run the following commands:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mmk2410/intellij-idea
sudo apt-get update

The community edition can then installed with

sudo apt-get install intellij-idea-community

and the ultimate edition with

sudo apt-get install intellij-idea-ultimate
