On the advice of TheZadok42 I installed PyCharm 2020.3.3 on both my Windows machine and my Raspberry PI 4. I have also bought and installed the FreeNove Ultimate Starter Kit for Raspberry on both. The first tutorial lesson is Blink.py, which just blinks an LED. It works fine if I just run "python Blink.py". However, when trying to run it from PyCharm it complains: "No module named 'RPI'" in reference to the line that says "import RPi.GPIO as GPIO". How do I get PyCharm to find it? Please note that I am not well-versed in Linux, having grown up in the MS-DOS then Windows world, so please make installation instructions or configuration file edit instructions complete.

PyCharm has its own version of Python and doesn't use the system install, you have to `pip install` packages from inside PyCharm itself. – Andy Feb 04 '21 at 20:02

You can open settings, window like this, press "+" and then find add install RPi.GPIO for your project virtual env

I had the same problem. Solution by Arseniy seems to be broken now, but the RPI.GPIO-def package seems to have exactly the purpose of enabling IntelliSense on PyCharm, without needing to install the full package.
