Nowadays python has become one of the most popular programming languages. Reason behind this is its simplicity in designing code. Hence it is widely used in the software development industry. We need an Integrated Development Environment to write simple and efficient codes. We can use PyCharm as an IDE for developing python based applications and projects. In this blog we will discuss the Pycharm IDEs after that we will see what pycharm is used and how to use them.
What is Pycharm?
PyCharm is an integrated development environment (IDE) developed by JetBrains as an IDE for Python. It is most commonly used for building python projects. It is available in three editions: community, education and professional. Two of them community and education are open source and free but it has few features compared to professional edition. The professional edition is a commercial and provides a lot of features and tools. In PyCharm we can create only python projects whereas in PyCharm professionals have various options.
PyCharm available for Linux, Windows, Mac OS. There are a lot of modules and packages available on pycharm and you can easily install it, that helps developers to develop software using python in a short time with less effort.
Why PaCharm ?
PyCharm is the most popular IDE for writing python programming code. Most of the software developers prefer using Pycharm. There are many reasons to use pycharm IDE. Lets See.
Smart Code assistance: PyCharm helps developers during the writing code by providing the suggestion as you type options. It provides smart code completion, code inspection, on-the-fly error highlighting and quick-fixes.
Fast and safe refactoring : PyCharm provides a fast and safe refactoring code facility. Using the refactor you can simply rename the variables or extract a superclass from the body of the class.
Smart Navigation Code : You can jump any section of code in the editor, such as any class, file or symbol. It takes only one click to switch to the declaration, super method, test, usages, implementation, and more.
Python Framework : It provides development framework for other frameworks like flask, Django etc.
You can download the Pycharm (IDE) using the following link.

Let's See first installation Process of Pycharm
After downloading the PyCharm .exe file Double click on it, Then a window will pop up on the screen, click on Next button.
Here the default location is given where installation is going to happen. if you want to change your location you can just click on browse and set your destination folder.
Here check the box as per your requirement. We don't want to update the PATH variable and create an association.
In this step just click on the install button. It will take a few minutes to complete the installation.
After a successful installation of PyCharm, When you start Pycharm you will see the interface as shown in the screenshot.
Start with Project in Pycharm
Create a New project
Step 1
To create a new project got the file menu and choose New Project
Step 2
After clicking on New Project pop up a new window on the screen. Write a project name at location in C:\Users\Pushkar\PycharmProjects\pythonProject1. The best way to manage dependencies in a python project is via a virtual environment. Most of the cases in PyCharm create a virtual environment automatically and do not need to configure anything. In PyCharm create an isolated environment venv, pipenv or conda. Select the environment and interpreter for your new project before creating a project.
Step 3
After clicking on the create button you will see the window as shown in the bellow.
Step 4
We can create one or multiple python files in one project. To create a new python file right click on the project name, select new and after click on the python file write the python file name you want to give and at last click on python file. Now you can write python code in it.
Step 5
Select the python file and type the python file name.
Step 6
Now I am writing a simple program to print a message “Welcome to codersarts” in python using a function and run it. To run the code right click on python file name and click on run button. You can also run your program using the run menu. If you want to run the main python file then click on the Run ‘main’ submenu else click on the run. If you click on run, you will see a list of all python files in this project, then you can choose the python file you want to run.
Output
Here is the output of a simple python program.
Open Existing Project
Goto file menu click on open after that as shown in the below pop window on screen. Select your python project folder and click on Ok button.
Install Packages in PyCharm
Step 1
To install packages in PyCharm you have to goto in file menu and click on settings. After that you have to select your project name and select python interpreter.
Step 2
Now to install new packages for your project Click on the plus button and open another window on your screen. Just type the package name in the search bar which you want to install for your project and click on install button.
After successfully installing the package you will see the message at the bottom of the above dialogue box as shown in the screenshot.
