pycharm in virtual environment.md

  1. Install JetBeans toolbox

  2. Turn on Generate shell scripts in the settings of the tooldbox app

  3. Set path to ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/bin

  4. Quit and re-launch toolbox

  5. Install Pycharm Community version

  6. Check the folder ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/bin if the installation has created a executable called pycharm in it.

  7. Since your bin directory is different, either add ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/bin to your PATH environment variable or do a symlink of pycharm to the bin folder. I prefer the latter. sudo ln -s ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/bin/pycharm /usr/local/bin/pycharm

  8. Type in the terminal pycharm and it should load the PyCharm IDE.

To use the terminal of a virtual environment, activate the virtual environment, then load PyCharm IDE in it.
