I have downloaded PyCharm and I am not able to add the interpreter. I have referred all the topics here, and was able to find this. But still I couldn't solve the problem, when I select the PyCharm.exe file it says "The selected file is not a valid home for Python SDK". I have rebooted my system, Uninstalled and reinstalled PyCharm, but did not find any luck. Please Help!

  • Make sure the path to python provided in pycharm is correct – HarshitMadhav May 22 '18 at 03:27

    You are looking for a "python.exe" not "PyCharm.exe" – cemsazara May 22 '18 at 03:41
  • Okay, I'm just a novice here in Python. Can you clear my doubt. Previously, when I installed Python, It made me select the interpreter Python.exe. So, I am assuming that for PyCharm the interpreter would be the same executable file, and that is what I have read in the topics I came across till now, I could be wrong, but does this mean that along with PyCharm I'll need to install Python as well? To add the interpreter? – Karan M May 22 '18 at 13:02

From pycharm,

select create new project and then you will get to name the project and select the project interpreter. In the Location you need to name and path for the project.

There will be project Interpreter just below Location. There you need to select New environment and provide the respective values. Make sure in the Base Interpreter selects the python.exe
