Offline installation

How to make an offline installation of SonarQube for IntelliJ.

Typically, offline installations start with a download of SonarQube for IDE from your IDE’s Marketplace.

The IntelliJ Marketplace has nearly all previous versions available including a compatibility matrix on their marketplace.

If you don’t have access to the IntelliJ Marketplace and are having troubles, please read the Questions and feedback page to learn how the SonarQube for IDE team can help you find a solution.

Instructions

To install SonarQube for IntelliJ offline, you must first download the plugin zip file from the JetBrains Marketplace. On occasion, an ad-hoc version can be built mainly for debugging purposes when a user reports a bug on our community forum.

To install the zip, go to File > Settings > Plugins (or IntelliJ IDEA > Settings > Plugins in MacOS). Behind the gear wheel at the right, select Plugin from Disk and choose the appropriate zip file to start the installation.
