Download Pycharm

• https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/?section=linux

• Download the tar.gz for Linux version of the Community edition (You have to scroll down a bit)

  • Maybe try the AMD version, it might avoid the JRE error described below.
  • Additionally apparently a command line version of the installation exist and that might also be better.

• Unpack the pycharm folder to the Linux Files Folder (You can just double click tar.gz and copy the folder over)

• Run cd ./pycharm-community-2023.2.1/bin/ or whatever version of pycharm was installed

• Then bash ./pycharm.sh

  • If you have the no JRE found error:

    • Run sudo apt-get install openjdk-17-jdk

    • Run PYCHARM_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64 bash pycharm-community-2023.2.1/bin/pycharm.sh

    • If you did this you must run this every time

• When Pycharm launches you want to go Settings>Make Desktop… unless you ran the complicated way.

• Then continue set-up as usual
