About
IntelliJ IDEA EAP is the Early Access Program edition of IntelliJ IDEA. It is a pre-release variant, distinct from the regular intellij-idea cask; the two casks conflict and are not intended to be installed together. The supplied Homebrew cask is for macOS.
- Installs
IntelliJ IDEA.appin/Applications. - Provides the
ideacommand-line launcher in Homebrew’sbindirectory. - Represents the EAP channel, rather than the regular IntelliJ IDEA cask.
Install it with brew install --cask intellij-idea@eap, then open IntelliJ IDEA from Applications or launch it using idea. The EAP label identifies this as an Early Access build, not the regular cask. The cask declares a macOS dependency and conflicts with intellij-idea.
