I was trying to be able to install Intellj hands free by running this:
wget https://download.jetbrains.com/idea/ideaIC-2017.2.3.dmg
hdiutil mount -nobrowse ideaIC-2017.2.3.dmg
mkdir /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ CE.app
cp -r /Volumes/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ CE/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ CE.app/ /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ CE.app/
hdiutil unmount /Volumes/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ CE/
rm ideaIC-2017.2.3.dmg
I notice when installing on OSX and the Intellij.app file gets coppied from the mount in /Volumes/IntelliJ into a dir in my /Applications folder from the command line with cp, I have the error:
Error: could not find libjava.dylib
Failed to GetJREPath()
When running the executable file in /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA CE.app/Contents/MacOS.
Specifically, I got:
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA CE.app.
when I tried to:
open /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ CE.app/
But none of this goes wrong when I try manually "drag-and-drop" the app from the Finder window. What's going on here?
Info:
Output when I "drag-and-drop":

You should use the following command instead:
cp -R /Volumes/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ CE/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ CE.app/ /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ CE.app/
Notice -R option instead of -r.
According to this man page, -r works differently on macOS:
COMPATIBILITY
Historic versions of the cp utility had a -r option. This implementation supports that option; however, its use is strongly discouraged, as it does not correctly copy special files, symbolic links, or fifo's.
