Fatal error initializing plugin org.jetbrains.android

Question

I get the error int the title in IntelliJ IDEA Version 2017年3月5日 when I try to create a new empty project (or any other kind of project). What I have done so far is:

• download the community version (without jdk) from here https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/download-thanks.html?platform=linuxWithoutJDK&code=IIC

• Move that to my home folder, extract it, follow the instructions in the Install-Linux-tar.txt

• Open the IDE, select empty project, name it, and press finish

I am running Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS. I tried deleting the Andriod folder in the plugins folder, but that achieved nothing.

Here is the text from the idea.log file:

• Max: Apologies for format. I tried putting in block quotes, code, etc, none of it really worked. Trying to find nicer way to post logs
• CrazyCoder: Use some file or text sharing service and post the link instead.
• CrazyCoder: Please use Java 8 to run IntelliJ IDEA, see intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544879. Java 9 is not supported yet for runtime.

Answer 1

Choose "Configure"-->"Plugins", and deselect "Android Support", restart the IDE and then you can create the project successfully.
