Pycharm Can't Find The Interpreter

I downloaded the student version of Pycharm from https://www.jetbrains.com/de-de/community/education/#students. We use Anaconda and Open CV as a package manager and basic library.

Solution 1:

You are trying to create a virtual environment using AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe as a base interpreter but it is not a real Python interpreter it is a some sort of a Windows specific shortcut which suggests to install Python from Windows store.

If I recall correctly modern PyCharm is smart enough not to suggest this "fake" interpreter as a base for a virtual environment so make sure you are using the latest IDE version available.

If you have Anaconda installed - select it from existing interpreters

... or create a conda environment as darcamo suggests.

only for him the executable was not saved under "Windows Apps" but normally under Programs \ Python \ Python.exe

Your professor is using Python installed from python.org, which you can also install if you don't want to use conda. 3.8.6 should be a decent choice.

Solution 2:

If you are using anaconda, then choose "conda" as the environment type instead of "virtualenv". You can also choose an existing interpreter if you already create the environment in conda (or if you want to use the base environment that is already created when you install anaconda).

Solution 3:

i have attached ss for creating conda enviroment.

make sure that your giving correct path of conda.exe

its present in H:\anaconda\Scripts\conda.exe your anaconda installed directory.
