From the looks of it, it seems that either one cannot open multiple CLion instances or that option is turned off by default.

Is there a way to open several CLion instances simultaneously? If yes, how?

Thanks

    Other JetBrains IDE can open other projects in separate frames/windows but it still will be only 1 app. I would think that CLion can do the same here. – LazyOne Aug 18 '15 at 10:34

To open a project in a new window: "File" -> "Open.." -> select your project -> "OK" -> "New Window"

    While this openes another project window, it's not a new instance, because you can not compile in oboth of them independently. – Devolus Apr 08 '19 at 09:10

This question Start two instances of IntelliJ IDE is about intelij, but the same procedure applies to CLion.

In my case I created a separate instalation and configured the idea.properties with a separate copy of the configuration files.

Note: This is for people that do need to create a new instance. In my case we are two people working on the same user on remote machine, so we cannot share the same instance.
