IV. Detailed Installation Tutorial (Mac)

Installing PhpStorm for Mac v2019.3.3 is not complicated; follow the steps below and you should not encounter major issues. We tested on several Macs with different configurations, including macOS Catalina and Big Sur, and all ran smoothly.

4.1 Download and Preparation

First, ensure that SIP (System Integrity Protection) is disabled on your Mac; otherwise, some activation patches may not work. To disable SIP: restart your Mac, hold Command+R to enter Recovery Mode, open Terminal and enter csrutil disable, then restart.

Next, download the PhpStorm installer and the Chinese localization/activation package from the links provided on this page. We recommend downloading to the “Downloads” folder for easy access.

4.2 Install the Main Program

Double-click the downloaded PhpStorm-2019.3.3.dmg file to open the installation window. Drag the PhpStorm icon on the left to the “Applications” folder on the right. This process takes about one or two minutes, depending on your Mac’s performance.

After dragging, open Launchpad, find the PhpStorm icon, and double-click to launch. On first launch, the system may prompt “cannot verify developer,” which is normal. Go to “System Preferences” -> “Security & Privacy” and click “Open Anyway.”

4.3 Localization and Activation

After launching, don’t start using it yet. Quit PhpStorm and locate the downloaded zh_CN.汉化包.zip and 激活补丁.zip. After extracting, copy the zh_CN folder to the Contents/Resources directory of PhpStorm (right-click PhpStorm in Applications and select “Show Package Contents” to access it).

The activation patch works similarly: place jetbrains-agent.jar into the Contents/bin directory. Then edit the phpstorm.vmoptions file in the same directory and add the line -javaagent:../lib/jetbrains-agent.jar at the end. Save and restart PhpStorm, then enter the activation code (usually included in the patch package) to complete activation.

V. Common Mac Shortcuts Table

Mastering these shortcuts can greatly improve your efficiency in PhpStorm. Below are the most commonly used shortcuts we’ve compiled; we recommend bookmarking or printing them out.

Also note: if you’re coming from Windows, the Cmd key on Mac corresponds to the Ctrl key on Windows. It may take some getting used to, but you’ll get the hang of it in a few days.

VI. FAQ

Many users encounter common issues during installation and use of PhpStorm. We’ve compiled the following to help you save time.

Q1: After installation, it won’t open and says “damaged.” What should I do?

This is usually because macOS Gatekeeper blocks unsigned applications. Solution: Open Terminal and enter sudo spctl --master-disable
