Issue
I've recently been trying out programming on Linux Mint Tessa, and so far it hasn't been going great. I've downloaded the PyCharm IDE file and have tried numerous times to extract it, but it doesn't work! When I navigate to my downloads folder and look at the PyCharm file, it shows a locked sign over the box icon. When I try and right click it and extract it, it says: Could not open "pycharm community-2018.3.3.tar-1": archive type not supported. Can anybody help? Please??
Solution
If you download the archive from an official site, it should be .tar.gz extension.
You can unarchive it using terminal
tar -xvzf pycharm-community-2018.3.3.tar.gz
