Graphical tutorial for installing Pycharm 2020.1 in Ubuntu 20.04

A few days ago, we installed Ubuntu 20.04 with a virtual machine. Today, we will install some commonly used tools, such as Pycharm. Pycharm is an IDE for developing Python. It boils down to two words, easy to use!

Download Pycharm

The official download address is: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/#section=linux

Ubuntu 20.04 is a Linux operating system, we naturally choose the Linux version of Pycharm, as shown below:

**Note: ** The latest version is Version: 2020.1, installations of other versions are all types

Install Pycharm

1. First, unzip the installation package pycharm-professional-2020.1.tar.gz pycharm-2020.1

jerry@jerry-virtual-machine:~/Desktop$ 
tar -zxvf pycharm-professional-2020.1.tar.gz 
pycharm-2020.1/

2. Create a new directory to place the decompressed file

$ sudo mkdir /opt/pycharm
jerry@jerry-virtual-machine:~/Desktop$ ls
pycharm-2020.1 pycharm-professional-2020.1.tar.gz
jerry@jerry-virtual-machine:~/Desktop$ sudo mv pycharm-2020.1//opt/pycharm/
jerry@jerry-virtual-machine:~/Desktop$ 
jerry@jerry-virtual-machine:~/Desktop$ cd /opt/pycharm/
jerry@jerry-virtual-machine:/opt/pycharm$ ls
pycharm-2020.1

3. The installation is complete. Unexpectedly, haha

Start and configure Pycharm

Let's continue with the above.

1. Start Pycharm

jerry@jerry-virtual-machine:/opt/pycharm$ sh /opt/pycharm/pycharm-2020.1/bin/pycharm.sh

2. A window will pop up after a while, choose to agree, and then Continue:

3. Choose a theme, this depends on personal preference:

4. Select the available command line to start Pycharm

That is, you can directly enter pycharm in the terminal in the future, and start Pycharm after pressing Enter

5. Option to install some plugins

This depends on personal needs, I have no choice; if you need it later, you can also install it in the IDE

6. Enter user password

7. After confirmation, it will automatically enter the activation interface
   Here, we choose the trial mode. Okay, I'm not talking anymore, you know_

8. Then enter the welcome interface

9. We don’t have to enter in a hurry, we can set the desktop icon here, which is convenient for us to open Pycharm, which is better than the command line

Configure Python environment

If you are anxious to open a new project in Pycharm, the creation may fail and an error will be reported, such as "Error prompt: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named'distutils.util'". This is obviously because some modules are not installed. Let's install some common stuff first:

erry@jerry-virtual-machine:~/Desktop$ sudo apt install python3-pip
jerry@jerry-virtual-machine:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get install python3-distutils

New Construction

1. Let's continue with the content of the previous section and create a new project in the welcome interface:

2. We choose to create a new Python project here

Among them, the location can choose where you want to put it, and the others can use the default, then create

3. Next, we can see the main interface of Pycharm:

Create a new Python file

Write a classic "Hello world"

Run this file

For the first run, you need to right-click the file and select "Run'hello'". The result is as follows:

Note: You do not need to right-click in the future, you can directly click the green button in the upper right corner to run this file directly. Python does not need to be compiled, it runs directly, so cool. . .

Optimize Pycharm

There are some places where we can do better:

1. Configure font

2. Install plugin

When we install Pycharm, there is an interface to choose the plug-in to install. In fact, we can install it ourselves, and the open path is: file — settings — plugings

Installing plugins is very simple, such as installing statistic:

The right plug-in will make Pycharm even more powerful. Regarding the content of the plug-in, I will not expand it in detail here, just list some plug-ins recommended by the great gods:

(1) statistic: Project statistics
(2) Rainbow Brackets: Let the code blocks clearly show various colors
(3). Ignore: People who use git know it, which is .gitignore

To be continued (add at any time)

summary

The installation and demonstration are complete, not too complicated. Even if it is, Pycharm is worthy of your own, who knows who uses it~~
