Hello everyone,

I want to start ktor project with Intellij Idea CE. I need to install ktor plugin inside IDE but marketplace only shows "obsolete" plugin. I downloaded latest version from website and try to "Install Plugin from Disk" option but it gives this error.

I researched and found new ktor plugin is only support Intellij Idea "Ultimate" version and it disappointed me. I can't afford to buy Ultimate version.

Should I use ktor only if I have Ultimate version, right?

The Ktor plugin provides some useful features, but it is still possible without any problems to develop a Ktor application without the plugin.
At the end, JetBrains has to have to monetize the development of Ktor, and using this hybrid approach is fair.

You can also use https://start.ktor.io/ to accomplish the same thing as the extension in ultimate edition if I'm not mistaken.
