The easiest way which worked for me includes the following steps:
- Go to https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/#section=linuxThere are two versions available: a)Community edition- Lightweight IDE for Python & Scientific development b)Professional edition-Full-featured IDE for Python & Web development, has 30 day free trial
- Download any of the two, I would recommend Community edition.
- Open terminal
- cd Downloads
- tar -xzf pycharm-community-2018.1.4.tar.gz
- cd pycharm-community-2018.1.4
- cd bin
- sh pycharm.sh
- Now a window will open like this:
Click on Do not import settings and click OK
10. Next select the defaults options in the bottom left corner:
Skip Remaining and Set Defaults
11. You should get this:
Pycharm IDE
12. Next create a Desktop entry or once the project opens go to: Tools-> Create Desktop Entry
Create Desktop Icon
13. You are done, create project and start working.
