Русская версия · Official Fleet page · JetBrains discontinuation post

Warning

JetBrains Fleet has been discontinued. According to JetBrains, Fleet will no longer be available for download starting December 22, 2025. Existing installations can continue to be used, but some server-side features, including AI Assistant, may stop working over time.

Caution

Use these links, packages, commands, and files at your own risk. This Gist is an unofficial archival/community note. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by JetBrains.

Important

Prefer current official JetBrains products and official distribution channels whenever possible. According to the JetBrains Fleet blog update, Fleet has evolved into JetBrains Air.

Direct download links

Note

If a download-cdn.jetbrains.com link returns 404, try the matching download.jetbrains.com fallback if listed. If both return 404, the file was most likely removed from JetBrains distribution.

Windows x64

https://download-cdn.jetbrains.com/fleet/installers/windows_x64/Fleet-1.48.261.exe

Linux x64 / Ubuntu x64

Warning

The direct JetBrains Linux .tar.gz archive downloads successfully, but it may not be a complete standalone distribution.

It can fail to launch with:

Provider fleet.dock.desktop.DesktopDock not found

The archive may miss required JAR modules such as:

fleet.dock.desktop-1.48.261.jar
fleet.dock.impl-1.48.261.jar
fleet.modules.jvm-1.48.261.jar
fleet.noria.ui-1.48.261.jar

For Linux/Ubuntu, the currently verified workaround is the RPM extraction method below.

Direct JetBrains archive:

https://download-cdn.jetbrains.com/fleet/installers/linux_x64/Fleet-1.48.261.tar.gz

Fallback:

https://download.jetbrains.com/fleet/installers/linux_x64/Fleet-1.48.261.tar.gz

Community RPM mirror package tested as a workaround:

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/nukeddd:/JetbrainsIDE/15.6/x86_64/jetbrains-fleet-1.48.261-lp156.6.1.x86_64.rpm

Caution

The RPM link is not an official JetBrains download link. It is a community/openSUSE repository package. Inspect it yourself before use.

Linux / Ubuntu installation

Recommended Linux workaround: extract the RPM package

This method was tested on Ubuntu. It works because the RPM package contains the missing code-cache JAR modules required by Fleet Desktop.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y rpm2cpio cpio curl

rm -rf ~/fleet-rpm-test
mkdir -p ~/fleet-rpm-test
cd ~/fleet-rpm-test

curl -fL \
  "https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/nukeddd:/JetbrainsIDE/15.6/x86_64/jetbrains-fleet-1.48.261-lp156.6.1.x86_64.rpm" \
  -o jetbrains-fleet-1.48.261.rpm

rpm2cpio jetbrains-fleet-1.48.261.rpm | cpio -idmv

sudo rm -rf /opt/jetbrains-fleet
sudo mkdir -p /opt/jetbrains-fleet
sudo cp -a ~/fleet-rpm-test/usr/share/jetbrains-fleet/. /opt/jetbrains-fleet/

cd /opt/jetbrains-fleet/lib/app

for dir in code-cache/*; do
  [ -d "$dir" ] || continue
  sudo ln -sfn "$dir" "$(basename "$dir")"
done

sudo tee /usr/local/bin/fleet > /dev/null <<'EOF'
#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd /opt/jetbrains-fleet || exit 1
exec /opt/jetbrains-fleet/bin/Fleet "$@"
EOF

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/fleet

fleet

Add a desktop entry on Linux

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications

cat > ~/.local/share/applications/jetbrains-fleet.desktop <<'EOF'
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=JetBrains Fleet
Comment=JetBrains Fleet IDE
Exec=/usr/local/bin/fleet
Icon=/opt/jetbrains-fleet/lib/Fleet.png
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;
StartupWMClass=jetbrains-fleet
EOF

update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications 2>/dev/null || true

Optional: verify that required Linux JAR modules exist

find /opt/jetbrains-fleet -name 'fleet.dock.desktop-1.48.261.jar' -print
find /opt/jetbrains-fleet -name 'fleet.dock.impl-1.48.261.jar' -print
find /opt/jetbrains-fleet -name 'fleet.noria.ui-1.48.261.jar' -print

Check for missing desktop module path files:

cd /opt/jetbrains-fleet/lib/app

grep '\.jar$' bootstrap/fleet.dock.desktop.module.path.txt | while read -r path; do
  [ -f "$path" ] || echo "MISSING: $path"
done | head -50

If the command prints nothing, the required desktop module paths are resolved.

Not recommended: direct Linux .tar.gz install

Warning

This method may fail because the direct JetBrains Linux archive may be incomplete for standalone use.

cd ~/Downloads

curl -fL \
  "https://download-cdn.jetbrains.com/fleet/installers/linux_x64/Fleet-1.48.261.tar.gz" \
  -o Fleet-1.48.261.tar.gz

tar -xzf Fleet-1.48.261.tar.gz

cd Fleet
./bin/Fleet

Verify link availability

curl -I "https://download-cdn.jetbrains.com/fleet/installers/windows_x64/Fleet-1.48.261.exe"
curl -I "https://download-cdn.jetbrains.com/fleet/installers/linux_x64/Fleet-1.48.261.tar.gz"
curl -I "https://download.jetbrains.com/fleet/installers/macos_x64/Fleet-1.48.261.dmg"

Optional SHA256 checksums

Note

Add checksums only after verifying the downloaded files locally. Do not trust third-party checksums blindly.

Linux archive:

sha256sum Fleet-1.48.261.tar.gz

Linux RPM:

sha256sum jetbrains-fleet-1.48.261.rpm

macOS:

shasum -a 256 Fleet-1.48.261.dmg

Why binaries are not mirrored here

This Gist intentionally does not mirror or re-upload JetBrains Fleet installer files.

Fleet is proprietary JetBrains software. This page only documents links and installation notes that may still be useful for archival purposes. Re-uploading .exe, .dmg, .tar.gz, .rpm, or other installer files may violate JetBrains terms and forces users to trust a third-party binary mirror instead of the original distribution infrastructure.

Known caveats

• Fleet is discontinued and will not receive further updates.
• Downloads may disappear from JetBrains CDN or third-party mirrors at any time.
• Some features depending on JetBrains server-side services may stop working.
• The direct Linux .tar.gz archive may be incomplete for standalone use.
• The Linux RPM workaround uses a third-party/openSUSE repository package.
• This document does not bypass licensing, terms of use, or any JetBrains policies.
• The files are not distributed by this Gist.

Disclaimer

This document is provided for archival and educational purposes only. Use at your own risk. The author is not responsible for broken links, removed files, installation issues, security issues, licensing questions, or any damage caused by using discontinued software.
