You can find the executable for running RubyMine in the installation directory under bin. To use this executable as the command-line launcher, add it to your system PATH as described in Command-line interface.
By default, RubyMine does not provide a command-line launcher. For more information about creating a launcher script for RubyMine, refer to Command-line interface.
Syntax
rubymine --line <number> <path>
Examples
Open a project:
$
rubymine ~/MyProject
Open a specific file on line number 42:
$
rubymine --line 42 ~/MyProject/scripts/numbers.js
You can find the script for running RubyMine in the installation directory under bin. To use this script as the command-line launcher, add it to your system PATH as described in Command-line interface.
When you specify the path to a file, RubyMine opens it in the LightEdit mode, unless it belongs to a project that is already open or there is special logic to automatically open or create a project (for example, in case of Maven or Gradle files) . If you specify a directory with an existing project, RubyMine opens this project. If you open a directory that is not a part of a project, RubyMine adds the .idea directory to it, making it a project.
