Prerequisites

Before you start developing on the remote machine, make sure you have the following:

Remote machine (a target for an IDE) meets the minimum recommended requirements that can be found in IDEs articles.
Since JetBrains Client is a thin client lightweight application, the requirements for disk space and computer resources are lower than for a host.
You have installed a compatible SSH server on the Linux platform.
The server part is self-contained, so no special dependencies should be installed. It will also run on any glibc-based Docker image (that is, not on Alpine).
The Linux platform has any recent Linux AMD64 distribution such as Ubuntu 16.04+, RHEL/Centos 7+, and so on. We recommend using machines with 2+ cores, 4GB+ of RAM, and 5GB+ of disk space.
You need to have the sftp subsystem enabled on the remote host. In the current implementation, we use it for the backend deployment.
