Run DataGrip for the first time
You can use the Toolbox App to run any JetBrains product. In the case of a standalone installation, running DataGrip depends on the operating system:
To run DataGrip, find it in the Windows Start menu or use the desktop shortcut. You can also run the launcher batch script or executable in the installation directory under bin.
Run the DataGrip app from the Applications directory, Launchpad, or Spotlight.
Run the datagrip.sh shell script in the installation directory under bin. You can also use the desktop shortcut if it was created during installation.
