In a simple manner you can also try to just run a pre-packaged docker with intellij, I found the good job of @dlsniper : https://hub.docker.com/r/dlsniper/docker-intellij/

you just need to have docker installed and to run :

docker run -tdi \
       --net="host" \
       --privileged=true \
       -e DISPLAY=${DISPLAY} \
       -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
       -v ${HOME}/.IdeaIC2016.1_docker:/home/developer/.IdeaIC2016.1 \
       -v ${GOPATH}:/home/developer/go \
