PyCharm: Anaconda installation is not found on macOS

Question

PyCharm CE and Anaconda have been installed.

I know I should create a symlink to $HOME/.anaconda , but what is the command on macOS/Linux ?

Or any other solution?

Thx

Answer 1

You can set which interpreter to use within PyCharm. First you can go to your terminal and check:

$ python --version

You may see something like this:

$ Python 3.6.4 :: Anaconda, Inc.

Verify the path to your interpreter:

which python

or

$ python

>>> import sys
>>> sys.executable
'/anaconda3/bin/python'

Now go to PyCharm and navigate to:

pycharm > preferences (or simply ⌘, ) > project > project interpreter > settings icon > add local > system interpreter > ... button > /anaconda3/bin/python3.6

click apply

You'll have to scroll up to get to your anaconda directory and essentially manually set the project interpreter path to your sys.executable path by clicking through subdirectories.

Answer 2

For 2020 readers, I'm using Mac OSX:

In PyCharm, click the Terminal Tab at the bottom, type

which python

and notice whether there is a .../.conda/... shown in the path. In my case:

/Users/raining/.conda/envs/ExampleProject/bin/python

If so, you're actually using anaconda's python(interpreter).

• Notice that python --version only showed Python 3.8.5 , no info. about Anaconda.

Answer 3

Add the path in ~/.bashrc

such as

export PATH="/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"

Then, PyCharm CE can be worked with Anaconda .
