In order to view the CodeGym task menu in Intellij IDEA, you first need to install our plugin.
You can find our plugin in the Downloads section of your profile page on our website.

Once you've downloaded our plugin, please follow these steps to install it in Intellij IDEA:

1) Open Intellij IDEA, then click on File -> Settings in the pop-up menu (or press Ctrl+Alt+S keyboard combination). For MAC-platforms: IntelliJ IDEA / Preferences.

2) In the Settings menu window find and click on the "Plugins" option in the list on the left.

3) At the bottom of the "Plugins" section find the "Install plugin from disk" button and click it.ย 

4) You will then see a Choose Plugin File window pop up. Find the directory where you downloaded our plugin to, select the plugin "CodeGymIdeaPlugin.jar" file and click OK.

5) Our plugin should now appear in the full list of all installed plugins and will be named "CodeGymHomeWork". Please make sure it is ticked (activated).ย 

6) Click "Apply" and "OK" in the Settings window.

7) Intellij IDEA will then prompt you to restart the software to activate changes - please do so.ย 

After Intellij IDEA restarts you should see the plugin menu buttons at the top right.
