Install, open, and use the default settings.

Clone the repository from the URL in the "< > Code"

If you don't know git:

  1. Click the green "< > Code" button at the top-right of the page
  2. Click "Download ZIP"
  3. Unzip it and move the intro-to-python-main folder to a convenient location

4. Make sure that you can run Python in PyCharm

  1. Open PyCharm (skip any configuration/tip windows)

  7. Otherwise, if you got an error (exit code 1 in red), follow these instructions for setting your Python version in PyCharm.

FAQs

Can I use a different code editor besides PyCharm?

Yes, but it is only recommended if you already know it and are comfortable navigating to different files and running commands in the command line. If it has syntax highlighting for Python, that is ideal.

If you are using VS Code, please install the Python extension.

PyCharm can't find Python 3

Follow the instructions for Python interpreter setup.
