After you download the archive from the JetBrains site, right click on it and open it with the Archive Manager. It will tell you where to unzip the files, and how to launch RubyMine after you’ve extracted it from the archive. You can read the RubyMine Installation Instructions in the file named “Install-Linux-tar.txt” file which is located in the archive file for RubyMine that you will download from JetBrains.

If you try to place it in one of the more locked-down system folder, you could run into permissions problems, which always drives me nuts. (I put mine in /home/matt/apps/RunyMine-4.0.3/). You just extract it to a folder of your choice. There is no actual “installer” for RubyMine on Linux.
