I have a JetBrains PhpStorm 7.1 and I want to install it in Ubuntu 14.04 so I installed wine for windows compatibility and I run PhpStorm-7.1.exe then it was successfully installed (I guess). But when I run the installed PhpStorm it gives me an error it says
Failed to create JVM: error code -1
How can I fix this?

JetBrains are publishing their entire IDE portfolio as snaps, including PHPStorm. Snaps work on all supported versions of Ubuntu, including 14.04. Some of the advantages of the JetBrains snaps are that they are always up to date, will automatically stay updated and are very easy to install.
Install PHPStorm on Ubuntu 14.04:
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install phpstorm --classic
sudo apt-get purge openjdk*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer oracle-java7-set-default
wget http://download-cf.jetbrains.com/webide/PhpStorm-7.1.3.tar.gz
tar -xvf PhpStorm-7.1.3.tar.gz
cd PhpStorm-133.982/bin
./phpstorm.sh
For new versions:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
wget http://download-cf.jetbrains.com/webide/PhpStorm-2016.2.tar.gz
tar -xvf PhpStorm-2016.2.tar.gz
cd PhpStorm-145.258.2/bin
./phpstorm.sh
note: if the link is broken try a higher version, current version is 2 as of July 2016. So next version will be PhpStorm-2016.3.tar.gz. And of course make sure that you cd into the right version cd PhpStorm-xxxx/bin

tar -xvf PhpStorm-2016.2.tar.gz
cd PhpStorm-162.1121.38/bin
./phpstorm.sh
If you have java sdk installed (Like Oracle JDK 7/8 or Open JDK 7/8), skip this step and proceed to #3
Note:
it is recommended to use Oracle JDK, but Open JDK 8 will do (I am using it now, as well as with my IntelliJ Idea for Java)
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8
(enter SUDO password)
Download latest PHP Storm for Linux
wget https://download-cf.jetbrains.com/webide/PhpStorm-2016.2.2.tar.gz**
Extract downloaded tar.gz file
tar -xvf PhpStorm-2016.2.2.tar.gz
Navigate to bin's folder where phpstorm shell script is located
cd PhpStorm-162.2380.11/bin/
Run shell script
./phpstorm.sh
Good Luck!
