How to Install Pycharm IDE on Centos?

In this article we will learn how to install PyCharm IDE on Centos machine.

PyCharm is Integrated Development Environment(IDE) used to develop mainly the python related projects. We will install the PyCharm community edition, which is free and open source.

Below are the steps to install the PyCharm on Centos machine.

1. Download PyCharm community edition zip file to a directory.

2. Browse to the directory where the zip file is been downloaded and execute the below command to extract the zip file.

tar xvzf pycharm-community-2020.1.2.tar.gz

Note: Here my downloaded file name is ‘pycharm-community-2020.1.2.tar.gz’. Please update it with your downloaded file name.

3. After successful extraction of the file, we can see below files.

4. Navigate to bin folder and run the “pycharm.sh” file as below.

cd pycharm-community-2020.1.2/bin
sh pycharm.sh

5. Follow the screen default instructions and proceed for installation.

6. After Successful installation, the PyCharm IDE is launched.

7. To work with python2, we can directly create a new project and start developing the python projects. But, if one wants to work with python3 version in centos7, we need to install the python3 separately alongside with existing python2 which is default in Centos7 machine.

8. Please refer to my another article on How to Install Python3 on Centos7 alongside with python2.

Thats it, we have installed the PyCharm IDE in Centos 7 machine.
