Как установить интерпретатор python в pycharm

Configure a system interpreter

To work with your Python code in PyCharm, you need to configure at least one interpreter. A system interpreter is the one that comes with your Python installation. You can use it solely for all Python scripts or take it as a base interpreter for Python virtual environments.

Configure a system Python interpreter

Ensure that you have downloaded and installed Python on your computer.

If you are on Windows, you can download Python from the Microsoft Store and install it as a Python interpreter. Once the Python application is downloaded from the Microsoft Store, it becomes available in the list of the Python executables. Note that interpreters added from the Microsoft Store installations come with some limitations. Because of restrictions on Microsoft Store apps, Python scripts may not have full write access to shared locations such as TEMP and the registry.

Do one of the following:

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the project Settings/Preferences and go to Project

Select Add Local Interpreter from the list of the available interpreter types.

Specify a path to the Python executable (in case of non-standard installation)

Download and install the latest Python versions from python.org

Install Python using the Command-Line Developer Tools (macOS only).

You will need admin privileges to install, remove, and upgrade packages for the system interpreter. When attempting to install an interpreter package through an intention action, you might receive the following error message: As prompted, consider using a virtual environment for your project.

Click OK to complete the task.

For any of the configured Python interpreters (but Docker-based), you can:

Python Interpreter

Use this page to configure and assign a Python interpreter for each of the projects opened in the same window.

Interpreters

The interpreters in the list are configured using the button, as described in the section Viewing list of available Python interpreters.

When PyCharm stops supporting any of the outdated Python versions, the corresponding Python interpreter is marked as unsupported.

This field shows read-only mappings between the desired local path and the corresponding remote path. PyCharm allows configuring paths by clicking next to the field. In the dialog that opens, click or buttons to change the path mappings as desired.

Click this button to configure an interpreter:

From the list, choose the one to be added:

Add : choose this option to add a locally residing Python interpreter. This includes also virtual environments and Conda environments. Also, choose this option to add a Python interpreter that resides remotely.

Show all : choose this option to open the list of all interpreters, available to the current project.

Packages

This table shows the packages installed locally.

This column shows the list of packages residing in the accessible remote repositories. For each package you can view its name and repository. Additional information is displayed at the tooltip.

This column shows the currently installed version of a package.

This column shows the latest available versions of the packages. If a version is outdated and the package can be upgraded, mark appears in this column.

Packages toolbar

Tooltip and shortcut

Click this button to install a new package from the accessible remote repositories.

Click this button to uninstall the selected local package.

Click this button to install the latest available version of a package. This button is only available for the outdated package versions.

Show earlier releases

Click this button if you want to extend the scope of the latest available versions to any pre-release versions (such as beta or release candidate ).

Use Conda Package Manager

This button appears for Conda interpreters ONLY!

If this button is pressed, the Conda package manager is used. If this button is released, than pip is used.

The buttons on this toolbar are disabled for the Docker-based and Docker-Compose-based interpreters.

All the packages should be already installed in the Docker image. If some packages are missing, then you will have to create a new Docker image, as described on the page Quickstart Guide: Compose and Django.

Configure a Python interpreter

Python interpreters in PyCharm

Python interpreters can be configured for a new project or for the current project (you can create a new interpreter or use one of the existing interpreters).

Setting an existing Python interpreter

Change the Python interpreter using the Python Interpreter selector

The Python Interpreter selector is located on the status bar. It is the most convenient and quickest way to switch the Python interpreter. Just click it and select the target interpreter:

Change the Python interpreter in the project settings

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Project

Expand the list of the available interpreters and click the Show All link.

Select the target interpreter.

When PyCharm stops supporting any of the outdated Python versions, the corresponding Python interpreter is marked as unsupported.

When you change an SSH interpreter, you might need to synchronize local content with the target server. Mind a notification balloon in the lower-right corner. You can click one of the links to perform the following actions:

Auto-upload files to the server

Synchronize files and then enable auto-uploading

Modify a Python interpreter

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Project

Expand the list of the available interpreters and click the Show All link.

You can specify an alternative interpreter name for the selected interpreter. The Python interpreter name specified in the Name field, becomes visible in the list of available interpreters. Click OK to apply the changes.

For remote interpreters (that are available in PyCharm Professional ) you can modify configuration parameters.

Creating a new Python interpreter

To add a new interpreter to the current project:

Do one of the following:

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the project Settings/Preferences and go to Project

Note that SSH, WSL, Vagrant, Docker, and Docker Compose are available only for the commercial version of PyCharm. WSL is Windows specific.

Select Add Local Interpreter from the list of the available interpreter types.

If New Virtualenv is selected:

If PyCharm detects no Python on your machine, it provides two options: to download the latest Python versions from python.org or to specify a path to the Python executable (in case of non-standard installation).

If you select any of the existing virtual environments from the Interpreter list, it will be reused for the current project.

Click OK to complete the task.

If you have added the user base’s binary directory to your PATH environmental variable, you don’t need to set any additional options: the path to the pipenv executable will be autodetected.

Click OK to complete the task.

Click OK to save the changes and complete the task.

Select Add Local Interpreter from the list of the available interpreter types.

If Poetry Environment is selected:

Select the base Python interpreter from the list, or click and find its location in your file system.

If PyCharm has not discovered the Poetry path, click near Poetry executable and navigate to its location. Then click OK in the explorer window to add it to the field.

If Existing environment is selected:

Expand the Interpreter list and select any of the existing Poetry environments. Alternatively, click and specify a path to it.

Click OK to complete the task.

If New Virtualenv is selected:

Select the Python version from the list.

Select the Make available to all projects checkbox if you want to reuse this environment when creating Python interpreters in PyCharm.

If you select any of the existing virtual environments from the Interpreter list, it will be reused for the current project.

Click OK to complete the task.

Select Add Local Interpreter from the list of the available interpreter types.

Specify a path to the Python executable (in case of non-standard installation)

Download and install the latest Python versions from python.org

Install Python using the Command-Line Developer Tools (macOS only).

You will need admin privileges to install, remove, and upgrade packages for the system interpreter. When attempting to install an interpreter package through an intention action, you might receive the following error message: As prompted, consider using a virtual environment for your project.

Click OK to complete the task.

Select On SSH from the list of the available interpreter types.

Select an option to create a new SSH configuration, then specify server information (host, port, and username).

In the next dialog window, provide the authentication details to connect to the target server.

Select Password or Key pair (OpenSSL or PuTTY) and enter your password or passphrase. If Key pair (OpenSSL or PuTTY) is selected, specify:

Private key file : location of the file with a private key

Passphrase : similar to a password, it serves to encrypt the private key.

The RFC 4716 format for OpenSSH keys is not supported by PyCharm. See the workaround.

Click Next to proceed with the final configuration step.

Wait until PyCharm completes the introspection of the SSH server.

In the next dialog, you can select a type of Python environment to configure on the SSH server.

You can select a new or existing venv or use a System interpreter.

You have to configure the path mappings between your local project and the server. To do that, click next to the Sync folders field and enter the path to the local project folder and the path to the folder on the remote server.

Click Create to complete adding an interpreter.

In the New Target: Vagrant dialog, click the browse icon next to the Vagrant Instance Folder field, and specify the desired Vagrant instance folder.

In the next field, PyCharm will display the path to the Python executable. Press «Next» to proceed.

You can create a virtual environment (venv or Conda) or use a system Python interpreter for the target Vagrant instance. Note that virtual environment must be configured and available in the specified Vagrant instance folder. Otherwise, the corresponding lists will be empty.

Press Create to complete the task.

Select On WSL from the list of available interpreter types:

Wait until PyCharm detects Linux on your machine and completes introspection. Press Next to proceed:

For a system interpreter, just provide the path to the Python executable in the selected Linux distribution.

For virtual environments, you can provide a path to existing environments in the selected Linux distribution or create a new environment based on the specified Python.

Select On Docker from the list of the available interpreter types.

In the New Target: Docker dialog, specify the docker server and define the way PyCharm will manage the docker image: build images locally from a Dockerfile or pull pre-built images from a Docker registry.

Optionally, specify the docker build options. You can also define the docker run command with the following syntax:

Use code completion when typing the command options ( Ctrl+Space ).

Wait for PyCharm to connect to the Docker daemon and complete the container introspection.

Next, select an interpreter to use in the Docker container. You can select any virtual environment that is already configured in the container or select a system interpreter.

Click OK to complete the task.

Select On Docker Compose from the list of the available interpreter types.

In the New Target: Docker dialog, specify the docker server and the docker-compose.yml file. Also select the service.

Wait until PyCharm creates and configures a new target:

Next, select an interpreter to use in the container. You can select any virtual environment that is already configured in the container or select a system interpreter.

Click OK to complete the task.

When a remote Python interpreter is added, at first the PyCharm helpers are copied to the remote host. PyCharm helpers are needed to run remotely the packaging tasks, debugger, tests and other PyCharm features. Next, the skeletons for binary libraries are generated and copied locally. Also all the Python library sources are collected from the Python paths on a remote host and copied locally along with the generated skeletons. Storing skeletons and all Python library sources locally is required for resolve and completion to work correctly. PyCharm checks remote helpers version on every remote run, so if you update your PyCharm version, the new helpers will be uploaded automatically and you don’t need to recreate remote interpreter. SFTP support is required for copying helpers to the server.

Setting the default interpreter

In PyCharm, you can specify an interpreter that will be automatically set for all newly created projects.

From the main menu, select File | New Projects Setup | Settings for New Projects (on Window and Linux) or File | New Projects Setup | Preferences for New Projects (on macOS).

Select Python Interpreter settings. Then either choose an existing interpreter from the Python interpreter list of click to add a new interpreter. Click OK to save the changes.

The change will become effective for all newly created projects in PyCharm.

Managing interpreter packages

For each interpreter, you can install, upgrade, and delete Python packages. By default, PyCharm uses pip to manage project packages. For Conda environments you can use the Conda package manager.

PyCharm smartly tracks the status of packages and recognizes outdated versions by showing the number of the currently installed package version (column Version ), and the latest available version (column Latest version ). When a newer version of a package is detected, PyCharm marks it with the arrow sign and suggests to upgrade it.

See the detailed instructions:

See the following video tutorial for additional information:

Configure a virtual environment

For Python 3.3+ the built-in venv module is used, instead of the third-party virtualenv utility.

Create a virtual environment

Ensure that you have downloaded and installed Python on your computer.

Do one of the following:

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the project Settings/Preferences and go to Project

Select Add Local Interpreter from the list of the available interpreter types.

If New Virtualenv is selected:

If PyCharm detects no Python on your machine, it provides two options: to download the latest Python versions from python.org or to specify a path to the Python executable (in case of non-standard installation).

If you select any of the existing virtual environments from the Interpreter list, it will be reused for the current project.

Click OK to complete the task.

You can create as many virtual environments as required. To easily tell them from each other, use different names.

Set an existing virtual environment

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Project

Select the target environment from the list and click OK to confirm your choice.

PyCharm can create a virtual environment for your project based on the project requirements.

Create a virtual environment using the project requirements

Open any directory with your source files that contains the requirements.txt or setup.py file: select File | Open from the main menu and choose the directory.

If no virtual environment has been created for this project, PyCharm suggests creating it:

Keep the suggested options, or specify the environment location or base Python interpreter. Click OK to complete the task.

This approach is particularly helpful when you want to upgrade a version of Python your environment is based on, for example, from 3.5 to 3.9. You can specify a new base interpreter and use requirements.txt to ensure all the needed packages are installed.

For any of the configured Python interpreters (but Docker-based), you can:

Once you have create a new virtual environment, you can reuse it for your other projects. Learn more how to setup an existing environment as a Python interpreter.

Click this button to show the list of interpreter paths.

Interpreter paths

This dialog shows up on clicking in the Python Interpreters dialog. It shows the paths where the external libraries reside. If a library has been added, it is recommended to click the Reload button to rescan the Python installation.

Tooltip and shortcut

Click these buttons to add external libraries for the selected Python interpreter.

Click these buttons to remove external libraries for the selected Python interpreter.

Reload List of Paths

Click this button to rescan libraries for the selected Python installation. For example, clicking this button helps update external libraries, if some packages have been upgraded.

Configure PyCharm With the Python Virtual Environment

It will show you how to configure PyCharm to work with Python in a virtual environment. Also you will configure the requirements.txt.

Start PyCharm create a new project or clone it from your repository. As an example I created a file first_example.py to write inside the main. I specify that this is only an example and for reasons of brevity does not follow the structure of a Python project.

Install Python

First, make sure Python 3 is installed by running the following command:

If python 2 and 3 is installed, the output will be the installed version of python 2 and 3.

If python is not installed, run the command and choose version 3.6 for example¹:

Create virtualenv with:

It is possible to create virtualenv on the same directory or on a different directory. In this article I use the same directory as the project directory. In my case i call the directory “venv”, but we can use “any_name”:

If all went well you will have the folder venv in your project:

To activate virtual environment lunch:

The fact that there is venv in parenthesis means that all libraries will be installed in the virtual environment and will not “dirty” the global environment. For more information about the virtual environment read this https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html.

Python Interpreter

If you can’t find the python interpreter in the previous window then you have to create or add it. Just go to File →Settings →Project →Python interpreter →Add.

In the Interpreter box is present the path of our virtual environment:

Click Ok and then on Apply, then we will see all the libraries installed in our virtual environment.

Executing a program in the virtual environment

Let’s consider the example first_example, go to Add Configuration…

A window will open. Click on the “+” in the upper left corner. Now we can configure our Python program ready to run. Enter the “Name” (first_example), set “Script path” to the file where the main is located. Then we should find the “Python interpreter” already configured, in any case, having added it we will find it in the dropdown menu. Note that the interpreter path is the one related to the virtual environment created!

Lunch simple program

Let’s consider the following code:

requirements.txt

If you share a project with other users using a build system or plan to copy the project to another location where an environment is to be restored, you must specify the external packages required by the project. The recommended approach is to use a requirements.txt file, which contains a list of pip commands and allows you to install the required versions of dependent packages.

We assume to install Pandas (data analysis and manipulation tool), we lunch:

Configure an interpreter using WSL

You can use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to work with a Python interpreter available in your Linux distribution.

Fulfill the preliminary steps

Ensure that you have downloaded and installed Python on your computer.

Install the Windows Subsystem for Linux and initialize your Linux distribution as described in the WSL Installation Guide.

If your Linux distribution doesn’t come with rsync, you need to install it:

sudo apt install rsync

When working with WSL 2, mind the following known WSL issues:

Debugger doesn’t work properly if firewall is not opened for WSL IP.

Configure remote interpreter via WSL

Do one of the following:

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the project Settings/Preferences and go to Project

Select On WSL from the list of available interpreter types:

Wait until PyCharm detects Linux on your machine and completes introspection. Press Next to proceed:

For a system interpreter, just provide the path to the Python executable in the selected Linux distribution.

For virtual environments, you can provide a path to existing environments in the selected Linux distribution or create a new environment based on the specified Python.

Once done, the new interpreter will be added to your project, and the default mnt mappings will be set.

PyCharm allows you to use custom Linux distributions run on WSL. PyCharm auto-detects such a distribution and adds it to the Linux Distribution list:

Create a WSL-based interpreter for a directory in \\wsl$

If PyCharm cannot discover any pre-configured WSL interpreter, you will see the banner prompting to discover Python in the Ubuntu installation:

Click Search for Python in Ubuntu to find a Python executable and create a WSL-based interpreter.

Once the interpreter is created, PyCharm notifies you.

Configure Terminal in WSL

Switch to the Terminal tool window and type any command to inspect the output.

Configure system settings to enable debugging

Perform the following steps to ensure that the debugger works properly:

Run the Windows PowerShell as administrator.

Execute the following command to allow connections using WSL:

Then execute the command to renew the firewall rules:

Now start the debugger session. When the Windows Security Alert popup appears, select the Public networks checkbox.

PyCharm не обнаруживает интерпретатор

Я новичок в программировании и только начал изучать Python. Я хочу использовать PyCharm, поэтому я загрузил и установил его (версия 4.5, версия сообщества). Ранее я устанавливал 64-разрядную версию Python 3.5 с сайта python.org (я использую Windows 10).

Чтобы начать использовать PyCharm, мне нужен интерпретатор проекта, который я могу выбрать в настройках. Насколько я понимаю, интерпретатором является «py.exe», но когда я выбираю его, я получаю следующее сообщение об ошибке: «Выбранный файл не является допустимым домом для Python SDK». Я также пытался использовать каждый файл, имя которого содержало «python» или «py», и не смог.

На каждом веб-сайте и видео, которые я вижу, они выбирают файл с именем «python.exe», но они используют Python 3.4 или более раннюю версию. Я проверил, поддерживает ли PyCharm 3.5 («Начальная поддержка Python 3.5»).

Я что-то делаю не так? Что мне делать, чтобы использовать PyCharm?

Все ответы приветствуются. Заранее спасибо.

файл> настройки нового проекта> интерпретатор проекта> щелкните в раскрывающемся списке и выберите «показать все»> щелкните кнопку «+»>

Теперь на вкладке Virtualenv Environment под переключателем Новая среда проверьте путь в поле «Базовый интерпретатор:». Для меня мой был установлен на недопустимый путь. После того, как я исправил путь, указывающий на python.exe, я воссоздал свой новый проект, а PyCharm построил файл virtualenv.

Я собираюсь списать это на ошибку. Я использую версию Community.

При создании проекта в PyCharm, если интерпретация еще не выбрана, в раскрывающемся меню под проектами «Местоположение:» вы можете щелкнуть значок шестеренки справа от параметра интерпретатора и нажать «Добавить локальный» ; затем выберите расположение установленного файла python.exe. Вероятно, это будет C: \ Python35 \ Python.exe

Я столкнулся с подобной проблемой и не смог найти Python interpreter нигде в системе.

Проблема заключалась в том, что python был установлен напрямую с настройками по умолчанию, и его не было exe найдено в

и чтобы решить эту проблему, я попытался uninstalling и reinstalling с пользовательскими настройками и выбором разрешения для всех пользователей, что помогло, и путь был правильно установлен на

PyCharm doesn’t detect interpreter

I’m new to programming and just started a course on Python. I want to use PyCharm, so I downloaded and intalled it (v. 4.5, community edition). I had previously installed Python 3.5 64-bit from python.org (I’m using Windows 10).

To start using PyCharm, I need a project interpreter, which I can select in the settings. As far as I’m concerned, the interpreter is «py.exe», but when I select it, I get this error message: «The selected file is not a valid home for Python SDK». I also tried to use every file whose name contained «python» or «py», and failed.

On every website and video I see, they select a file called «python.exe», but they’re using Python 3.4 or a previous version. I checked that PyCharm supports 3.5 («Initial support for Python 3.5»).

Is there anything I’m doing wrong? What should I do to be able to use PyCharm?

All replies are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Now, in the Virtualenv Environment tab under the New environment radio button, check the path in the ‘Base interpreter:’ field. For me, mine was set to an invalid path. Once I had corrected the path to point to python.exe I recreated my new project and PyCharm built the virtualenv.

For me there was a bit more too. When creating the new project I expanded the drop down and had to verify the directory where the venv directory was being created. Once I had corrected the path here I had to click around a bit to get it to let me create the project.

I’m going to chaulk this up to a bug. I’m using Community edition.

When creating a project in PyCharm, if the interpret is not already selected, in the drop down menu under the projects «Location:», you can click the gear-looking icon to the right of the interpreter option, and click «Add Local»; then select the file location of the python.exe file that you have installed. It will probably be C:\Python35\Python.exe

I faced a Similar issue and was not able to find Python interpreter anywhere on the system.

The problem with it was that python was installed directly with default settings and there was no exe found in

and to solve this i tried uninstalling and reinstalling with custom settings and selecting allow for all users as well which did the trick and path was set correctly to
