How to set up a virtual environment in PyCharm?

You can set up a virtual environment in PyCharm by following these steps:

1. Open PyCharm and enter the project interface.
2. Click on “File” in the top menu bar, and then select “Settings” (or use the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + S).
3. Select “Project: Project Name” from the left panel (where “Project Name” is the name of your current project).
4. Select the “Python Interpreter” option in the right-hand panel.
5. Click on the settings button on the right panel (gear icon), and select “Add”.
6. If you choose to use an existing virtual environment, click the “Existing environment” option and then select the corresponding virtual environment path.
7. If you choose to create a new virtual environment, click on the “New environment” option, and then select the Python interpreter path for the virtual environment.
8. After confirming your selection, click “OK” to complete the setup.

Once configured, PyCharm will use the virtual environment you selected as the Python interpreter in the project, allowing you to run and debug the project in PyCharm.
