Download Python Interpreter For Pycharm
If you have an existing conda environment, you configure Pycharm with the location of the Python interpreter (python.exe) in that environment. The link doesn't even mention typing any commands. – nekomatic May 9 '19 at 11:44. Steps to change python version in pycharm-Step 1: Check if you already have that version interpreter of Python pre-installed. Suppose if you have Python 3.7 but you need a virtual env in pycharm for 2.7 base interpreter. In order to check it, Go to – File - Settings - Project -Project Interpreter.
Today we’re going on a Python adventure using Jupyter notebooks and PyCharm! First, let’s talk about what these are. Jupyter Notebook is a web application where you can create interactive coding documents, supporting many programming languages including both Python and R as well as Markdown. PyCharm is an amazing IDE (interactive development environment) for Python that has tools and plugins to help you code more efficiently. You can develop your code both locally and remotely using PyCharm. First, let’s get set up!
Getting started with PyCharm
Install PyCharm.I highly recommend installing PyCharm Professional because you get more features like SciView that are awesome for data science. Plus PyCharm Professional is free for students!
Install Python if you don’t already have it - you’ll need an interpreter in order to use PyCharm! Be aware that Python 2 and Python 3 are different in terms of syntax - don’t worry, you can load either version in PyCharm when you start a new project. If this is your first time developing in Python, I recommend going with the latest version 3.8.3.
Create a new project in PyCharm and select your local Python interpreter. Here, I created a new project called ‘pycharm’ in a directory on my desktop and selected Python 3.7 as my interpreter.
Install Jupyter by selecting PyCharm >> Preferences >> Project Interpreter, then click the “+” button to add new packages.
Then type ‘jupyter’ and select jupyter from the packages list. Then click the ‘Install Package’ button at the bottom of the window.
Create a new Jupyter notebook by navigating to File >> New… and selecting ‘Jupyter Notebook’. Alternatively, if you just want to create a Python script you can select ‘Python File’. Here, I created a new notebook called pycharm.ipynb.
Let’s start editing our notebook by adding a Markdown cell. In the editor next to the ‘#%’, add ‘md’ to set the cell type to Markdown. Then use Markdown formatting, such as ‘### Header’ like in my example here. Notice that the right side panel displays a preview of your notebook.
Now let’s add a coding cell. Click the ‘+’ button just below the Markdown cell to add a new cell. Add your code and click the green arrow to run the code in the cell.
Here I created and printed a variable called my_string.
Let’s check out a cool feature of PyCharm Scientific View. Add the following to a code cell and run it:
/free-activation-code-for-program4pc-video-converter-pro.html. Next, open your Jupyter tab at the bottom of your PyCharm window, click on the variables tab, and right click on the new variable you just created called ‘data’. Select ‘View as Dataframe’, then click on the ‘SciView’ tab on the right panel.
This is a great feature for viewing your stored variables. You can view both dataframes and arrays with SciView.
Let’s try launching this notebook in our browser. Click on the text at the bottom of your PyCharm window that says “Jupyter Server started at http://localhost:8888// Open in Browser”. You should see an Event Log window pop up in the bottom right panel. Click on “Open in Browser” to launch your notebook in your web browser.
You should now see something like this in your browser:
Click on the notebook to run your code in the browser window. You can run cells by clicking the Run button in the top tool bar, or by clicking Ctrl + Enter.
Sync files with a remote server
Let’s say you want to sync files on a remote server. You’ll need to set up your file transfer protocol. Select Tools >> Deployment >> Browse Remote Host. Then select your protocol - here I chose SFTP (secure file transfer protocol).
Next, configure your connection to the remote host by adding your IP address and log in credentials. Optionally, set your root path to the path on the remote server where you want to access files.
Click on the Mapping tab and set your local path to your project directory in PyCharm. Set the deployment path to the directory on the remote server where you want to access or upload files.
Sync your local directory with the remote directory by right-clicking on your project in the left panel, then select Deployment >> Sync with Deployed To…
Then click the green double arrow button “Synchronize All” to sync your files. You can use the ‘Remote Host’ tab on the right panel to view your remote file tree.
Run a remote Jupyter server kernel
If you want to run an interactive Jupyter notebook on a remote server in PyCharm, you’ll need to set up your Jupyter server configuration and remote Python interpreter.
In the terminal, SSH into your remote server, navigate to the directory where your data is, then launch a Jupyter notebook.
Navigate to the directory where your data is located. Then launch a jupyter notebook by running the following:
This will return a url and token, similar to:
Copy this entire url and token. Make sure you copy it all from one line - I have to make my terminal full screen for this. Otherwise you might get a weird line break and your url/token might not work.
Open a new Jupyter notebook file and select ‘Configure jupyter server…’.
Paste your url and token in the field for ‘Configured Server’. Then click ‘Apply’.
You should now be able to access data on the remote server in your Jupyter notebook. Here, I cloned my repo on the remote server, and I’m accessing a csv file with the pandas library.
If you want to use an interpreter on the remote server, you can figure the interpreter by naviating to Pycharm >> Preferences >> Project Interpreter…, then select the wheel button next to your current interpreter and select ‘Add…’. Then select ‘SSH interpreter’ and choose ‘Existing server configuration’. From the dropdown menu, select the SSH configuration that you set up in step 2 of the ‘Sync files with a remote server’ above.
Note:Unfortunately, you cannot view your variables while using a remote Jupyter server kernel as documented here.
Congrats on developing in Jupyter Notebooks and PyCharm! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, feel free to comment below with any comments/questions! 😎
PyCharm is our favorite IDE for developing applications with Python. With the release of PyCharm 2020.1, PyCharm can now install the Python interpreter automatically if it does not detect an existing installation. I wasn’t able to try this feature out as I already have several versions of Python installed on my primary computer. I recently picked up a Microsoft Surface Go 2 which provided the perfect opportunity to let PyCharm install Python.
Installing the Python Interpreter
PyCharm allows you to create a new virtual environment when you create a new Python project. If Python is not already installed, the base interpreter will give you the option to download the latest build from one of the two most recent major versions of Python.
After clicking the Create button, PyCharm will download and install the selected version of Python, create the virtual environment, and open the new project.
Questions… and Answers
Normally I’d start developing the new project, but at this point I had a lot of questions. Where is Python installed? Which features were installed? Is the new installation in my path?
PyCharm downloads the 64 bit executable installer for the version you selected. It then runs the installer with the default options selected in quiet mode. Quiet mode hides the installer’s user interface.

Python will be installed in UsersAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPythonXX where <username> is the username for the current user and XX is the version of Python you selected.

The installed features include IDLE, pip, and the documentation.
Installation will NOT be in your path. This means if you open the command prompt or Terminal and type Python, you will not the get Python interpreter you just installed. Instead the Windows Store will open and prompt you to install Python 3. More on this later.
Uninstalling Python
The Python interpreter installed by PyCharm will appear in the list of apps and features and can be uninstalled like any other program.
Installing Python from the Windows Store
Starting with the May 2019 update to Windows 10 (1903), You will be prompted to install Python 3 from the Windows Store if a Python interpreter is not already in your path. You can read more about this here.
You can disable this feature with the following steps:
- Open Settings and choose Apps
- Click App execution aliases
- Turn off all of the entries for Python (there may be more than one)
Installing Additional Python Versions
Once you have a system-wide Python interpreter installed, you will not be able to install another version from within PyCharm. Although there has been some discussion regarding this in the issue tracker, the PyCharm team doesn’t seem keen on adding this feature.
Your best bet is to head over to python.org and download the installer for additional versions.
