I downloaded the zipped folder for the ToolBox app from JetBrains' official site. After extracting the folder, I clicked multiple times on the ToolBox executable app, but nothing happened on the screen. On searching a bit more deeply, I found that no app supported running such a file!
Please HELP...
I followed these steps:
Open Console and change the directory
cd /opt/
Extract the file
sudo tar -xvzf ~/Downloads/jetbrains-toolbox-1.xx.xxxx.tar.gz
Rename the folder (not mandatory but it's easier for later use)
sudo mv jetbrains-toolbox-1.xx.xxxx jetbrains
Open JetBrains Toolbox
jetbrains/jetbrains-toolbox
If you can't open the file type sudo apt install libfuse2
sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TBX-8755/)

I am very fortunate that I don't need Windows for work at all. I use Ubuntu and RHEL and sometimes, the Macbook Pro that my company provides.
– Phillip H. Blanton Mar 21 '24 at 21:37JetBrains Toolbox is distributed as an AppImage (even though the filename lacks the .AppImage extension), so make sure these dependencies are met: libfuse2 libxi6 libxrender1 libxtst6 mesa-utils libfontconfig libgtk-3-bin tar.
Download JetBrains Toolbox from the official website, extract it, add the executable permission, and run it -- it will then copy itself to ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/bin, create desktop and autorun entries, and edit your .profile to include its shim folder (so you can run pycharm etc. from the terminal).
(Notably, the shims don't include jetbrains-toolbox itself. If you want that to work (maybe you will disable the autorun?), simply symlink it: ln -s "$HOME/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/bin/jetbrains-toolbox" "$HOME/.local/bin/jetbrains-toolbox")
There is an install script automating the above process (except the AppImage dependencies), which used to be recommended in the official JetBrains documentation. (It's not there anymore, presumably since it's third-party and they didn't have control over it.)
You can check out the script on GitHub, and you can run it by the command below:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nagygergo/jetbrains-toolbox-install/master/jetbrains-toolbox.sh | bash
If you are trying to start the executable app by double clicking on it, nothing will happen, but if you try to execute it in the terminal. This error should show up:
dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2
AppImages require FUSE to run.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE
for more information
This is because the latest versions of ubuntu dropped the maintenance of the older versions of libfuse, which means that you will have to install it manually by doing:
sudo apt-get install -y libfuse2

I had similar issues, starting Toolbox showd just a blank screen on Ubuntu on Windows wsl2. What helped:
Kill all toolbox processes
Include the following into ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/.settings.json
"internal": { "graphics_api": "Software" },
/path/to/jetbrains-toolboxin a terminal? – Jos May 27 '22 at 08:10~/Downloads/jetbrains-toolbox. – Jos May 27 '22 at 08:42~/Downloads/jetbrains-toolbox-1.24.11947/jetbrains-toolbox. – Jos May 27 '22 at 08:48sudo apt install libfuse2and then retry the command. The toolbox app requires FUSE facilities to maintain a sort of internal file system. I havelibfuse2installed on my system, but notfuseitself. – Jos May 27 '22 at 08:52fuse- which the app politely mentions the first time you run it. I think that is not bad. – Jos May 27 '22 at 10:39fuseto run. It links you to a GitHub page that explains very clearly how to installfuseon many different distros. – Esther May 27 '22 at 13:42
