Download PhpStorm 2020.1.2

JetBrains releases several development environments, such as IntelliJ Idea targeting Java, CLion targeting C and C++, DataGrip targeting SQL and PhpStorm targeting PHP. PhpStorm offers on-the-fly error prevention, autocompletion, code refactoring, and debugging, and can also handle HTML, CSS, Coffee, and JavaScript. For an overview of the possibilities, we refer to this page. To use PhpStorm, a license required. For business and home use you will have to pay for it, but if the software is used for education or non-commercial open source projects, the license is free. JetBrains has released a second update for version 2020.1 and the changelog for that release looks like this:

WSL 2 Support

WSL 2 is a new version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux architecture that allows Windows to run Linux binaries. PhpStorm has supported WSL 1 since v2019.3, and now it supports WSL 2 as well.

You can run PhpStorm on a Windows machine and target Linux environments without any hassle.

One thing that’s still missing is support for Docker over WSL 2 (WI-53396).
