PyCharm Python Interpreter Setup
To set up a Python interpreter in PyCharm, follow these steps.
- Launch PyCharm and navigate to “File” > “Settings” using the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + Alt + S on Windows/Linux or Cmd + , on Mac.
- In the Settings window, go to “Project” and then select “Project Interpreter”.
- Click on the gear icon next to the project interpreter dropdown menu, then choose “Add…” option.
- In the “Add Python Interpreter” window, you have the option to add a new interpreter for Python (if it is already installed on your system) or choose an existing one.
- If you haven’t installed Python yet, you can get it from the official Python website (https://www.python.org/downloads/) and then choose the interpreter in PyCharm.
- After you have chosen the interpreter, press “OK” to apply the changes.
You should now have a Python interpreter configured in PyCharm, allowing you to begin coding and executing your Python scripts.
