Is it possible to open WebStorm IDE with new project via terminal.
I want to create new folder and then launch IDE as new project with this folder as root.

Answer
First you have to create project root folder yourself.
Then — just pass the full path to WebStorm executable (webstorm or (older name) wstorm) as a parameter — IDE will either open existing project there (if it find the .idea subfolder) or will create new project for that folder:
webstorm /path/to/the/project/

P.S.
If webstorm command is not recognized — use Tools | Create Command Line Launcher... to create such alias/command.
