How To Install and Setup PyCharm for Python in Windows 10 in 2021?

Are you just starting your journey to become a Python developer. If yes, then your first step should be choosing the best IDE for you. There is a number of python IDEs available on the internet, but I would recommend you to kick start your Python journey by installing PyCharm community edition. Why? Because PyCharm community edition comes with a lot of exciting features such as version control, visual debugging, syntax highlighting and many more. In this article, I will guide you to install PyCharm on your computer without any errors.

Follow the steps given below to install and set up PyCharm IDE for Python:

1.Download Python by clicking here. You can install any version of Python of your choice. But, I would recommend you to download the latest version of Python., i.e., Python 3.9.1 at the time of writing this article.

2.Install the .exe file. Make sure you check “Add Python 3.9 to path” otherwise you would need to call it from the command line like this: C:/Python3.9/Python some_python_script.py

3.Verify if the Python is installed correctly or not by typing python –version in the Windows PowerShell.

4.The next step is to download the Community version of PyCharm IDE by clicking here. The community version is free to use. You can download the Professional edition if you want(it has additional support for HTML, JS and SQL). If you are a beginner, then I would recommend you to use the community edition and insatll.
