Hi ! im new here how to setup kotlin in IntellJ IDE , have seen couple of video on youtube and read article but damn when ever i click the

Run button

it shows set configuration. Feel Intellj is really complex.

IntelliJ is really powerful. If it shows a popup there for the configuration, it probably Marks some boxes in red that you need to provide. E.g. missing JDK.

If you have a

main()

function already there should be a green arrow button in the gutter next to it. Try clicking that and it will be added as a run configuration automatically after running your program.

there is no green button

You won’t get far with this attitude 😉 every tool has its learning curve, try to take some time to read how Intellij works, when you get used to it you’ll understand how a powerful IDE it is, I promise!

have spent considerable time looking for it , probably an hour or two been successful on my workplace system not so lucky on home. why so? in workplace i followed the process in home i didn't , played a lot by breaking things.

What it comes down to is that you didn't want to try to understand the error so you gave up.

there is something called

time

and every project have it.

If Eclipse is working for you, fine! Use what gets the job done quickly. I don’t don’t know about its Kotlin support, but I don’t think it can par with IntelliJ. Maybe try to use it again when you have some time in the future, good luck!
