1. Install Node.js and NPM (Node Package Manager).

Launch terminal.

sudo apt install nodejs
sudo apt install npm

Once installed, verify them by checking the installed version

node -v
npm -v

Liferay portal has its own nodejs, and the installed one is only used for IntelliJ.

2. Install IntelliJ Toolbox and IDEA

Install JetBrains Toolbox. Download .tar.gz here.

Install IntelliJ IDEA in the toolbox.

There are Community Edition and Ultimate for your choice.

If Ultimate, you need to create a ticket to request IntelliJ IDEA license in JIRA.

Once you receive the email from JetBrains Sales, use JB account to activate IDEA Ultimate.

3. Properties Preparation

Once you get and untar liferay-portal.tar, create two files:

1. app.server.properties

In /home/repo/liferay-portal, create a file named app.server.username.properties

Your username is usually set as liferay.

Paste the properties below into it.

##
## Server Type
## 

#app.server.type=jboss
#app.server.type=tcserver
app.server.type=tomcat
#app.server.type=weblogic
#app.server.type=websphere
#app.server.type=wildfly

##
## Server Directory
##

app.server.parent.dir=${project.dir}/../bundles/${app.server.type}

You can change server type by uncommenting another one instead of the current one.

2. build.properties

Create a file named build.username.properties in the same path.

Paste the properties below into it.

#
# Set the registry URL to use when invoking NPM via Gradle. Leave the
# property empty to use the default NPM registry.
#

nodejs.npm.registry=
#nodejs.npm.registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org

#
# Set the alternative node-sass binaries download URL.
#

nodejs.npm.sass.binary.site=
#nodejs.npm.sass.binary.site=http://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/node-sass

When you run ant all, it fails for serveral times at beginning. Because Ant need to import files and actively triggers failure. It tells in terminal.

If failure remains, uncomment the URL in build.username.properties

4. Setup IntelliJ for developing Liferay Portal

In /home/repo , clone the liferay-intellij repo:

git clone [email protected]:holatuwol/liferay-intellij.git

Run ant all under /home/repo/liferay-portal .

After the successful build, run ../liferay-intellij/intellij

This will create an IntelliJ project containing all modules, with all of them loaded at startup.

In IntelliJ IDEA, open liferay-portal project.
