I suppose that you use 32 bit version of java. Try run idea64.exe — talex
thanks everybody , yes my sdk version is 32 bit .. i instal 64 bit and it works — Ehsan Hadri

Error: Intellij heap size snap

This answer is only for the linux/debian users.

So, I changed the max heap size from 750m to 2048m. When i changed this, I was unable to start the intellij.

Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx2048m
The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

I installed the intellij by the help of snap. So, the contents of all the snaps where installed at /snap/intellij.

These contents were read-only. So, you cannot change the vmoptions here.

The actual customized vmoptions is present in the user directory.

The name of the directory is .IntelliJIdea{Year.Version}/config. Some of the operating systems hide this directory. So, you need to enable show the hidden files

Now, you will find the idea64.vmoptions file. Edit this file to the decrease the memory.
