While I am installing IDEs from JetBrains, in installation options I can "add launchers dir to the PATH", what does it mean?

Cannot understand what does it mean exactly.

This option allows adding <ide install dir>/bin to your system %PATH% so that you can start the launcher from any folder by just entering idea (webstorm, etc) in cmd console
