The failure to create a JVM may be due to the lack of Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on the computer or incorrect JDK path configuration. Here are some solutions:

  1. Install JDK: Make sure that JDK is correctly installed first. You can download and install the latest version of JDK from the Oracle official website.
  2. Configure JDK path: In PyCharm, click on “File” -> “Settings” to open the settings window. In the left navigation bar, select “Build, Execution, Deployment” -> “Python Interpreter”. In the Python interpreter window on the right, click on the gear icon at the top right, and select “Show All”. In the pop-up window, find the section “Environment Variables” and click on the “…” button. In the pop-up “Environment Variables” window, make sure that the “PATH” environment variable contains the correct JDK path.
  3. Check the JDK version: make sure that the JDK version installed is compatible with the version required by PyCharm. You can refer to PyCharm’s official documentation to find out the required JDK version.
  4. Restart PyCharm: After installing JDK or changing the JDK path, restart PyCharm so that it can reload the JDK-related settings.

If the above methods are ineffective, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling PyCharm, ensuring to correctly configure the JDK path. If the issue persists, further investigation into other possible problems may be necessary or contacting PyCharm’s technical support.
