copied!<p>Your problem probably is that you haven't <em>installed</em> python. Meaning that, if you are using Windows, you have not downloaded the installer for Windows, that you can find on the official Python website.</p> <p>In case you have, chances are that PyCharm cannot find your Python installation because its not in the default location, which is usually <code>C:\Python27</code> or <code>C:\Python33</code> (for me at least).</p> <p>So, if you <em>have</em> installed Python and it still gives this error, then there can be two things that have happened:</p> <ol> <li>You use a <code>virtualenv</code> and that <code>virtualenv</code> has been deleted or the filepath changed. In this case, you will have to find proceed to the next part of this answer.</li> <li>Your python installation is not in its default place, in which case you will need to find its location, and locate the <code>python.exe</code> file.</li> </ol> <p>Once you have located the necessary binaries, you will need to tell PyCharm were to look:</p> <ol> <li>Open your settings dialogue <kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>ALT</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd></li> <li><p>Then you will need to type in <code>interpreter</code> in the search box:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pXdOR.png" alt="enter image description here"></p></li> <li><p>As you can see above, you will need to go to <code>Project Interpreter</code> and then go to <code>Python Interpreter</code>. The location has been selected for you in the above image.</p></li> <li><p>To the side you will see a couple of options as icons, click the big <code>+</code> icon, then click on <code>local</code>, because your interpreter is on <em>this</em> computer.</p></li> <li><p>This will open up a dialogue box. Make sure to select the <code>python.exe</code> file of that directory, do not give pycharm the whole directory. It just wants the interpreter.</p></li> </ol>
