# JetBrains plugin

The [Qwiet AI plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/25945-qwiet-ai) for JetBrains enables you to shift further left by identifying and fixing security vulnerabilities as you write code. Fix vulnerabilities before they ever exist as a backlog ticket.

## Language support and requirements <a href="#language-support-and-requirements" id="language-support-and-requirements"></a>

Qwiet AI for JetBrains currently:

* Supports the analysis of Go, Java, JavaScript and TypeScript, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Terraform, C and C++ (either in CLion or by file extensions `.c`, `.cc`, `.cpp`, `.h`, `.hpp`, `.hh`), and C# (but only by file extension `.cs`) applications;

## Dependencies <a href="#dependencies" id="dependencies"></a>

Before proceeding with this extension, ensure that your workstation meets the [prerequisites](broken://spaces/uPVBkglG6gsk2SsnsKgG/pages/0c1ezDgaUil5NxR4VnY3) for using Qwiet AI by Harness.

The extension will automatically download and install the latest version of the [Qwiet CLI](broken://spaces/4t03gua31tHpZwtcczPO/pages/awGOIhLEqCHPlyq3Y1Qc) for you. This will not affect the system version of the Qwiet CLI (if you have it installed); these two versions will be maintained in parallel.
