Here is step by step to set up
- You will need to know the path to the interpreter that you wish to use, like C:\Ptython3 oe whatever it is
- Open your project in PyCharm
- Click on file-->settings this will open a screen which will have a bunch of menu selections on the left, and the Project Interpreter on the right.
- If you don't see this window on the right:
- Click menu item (left pane) Project: Your project Name
- Select Project Interrupter
- Now near the top you will see Project Interrupter and a text window with a pull down;
- Click on the pill down and see if your Interrupter is there. If so, click on it, click OK and you're done.
- If not in the pull down, you have to add it:
- Click on the gear icon to the right of this box
- Click add local
- Click Existing Environment (you will want to eventually use virtual environment, but don't even think about it now)
- Again look in the pull down and if it's there, select and OK your way out ... you're done
- If not there, click on ... button to the right, navigate to your interrupter, select and click OK
- Keep clicking OK until back to the main screen.
- You're done. Write some code.
