The tarball of JetBrains Toolbox is a compressed AppImage, so you can extract and run it directly without layering. Depending on your development environment, you can also run it directly in Fedora Toolbox or distrobox (which is a Podman container) if you are developing your application there.

Here is their documentation:

  • Linux:
  • x86_64: glibc 2.17 (Ubuntu 18.04 or newer)
  • arm64: glibc 2.29 (Ubuntu 20.04 or newer)JetBrains Toolbox App is packaged in AppImage and requires FUSE to run. See AppImage Wiki for details.The following packages must be present:libfuse2 libxi6 libxrender1 libxtst6 mesa-utils libfontconfig libgtk-3-bin tar dbus-user-session
