Setting up a project in PyCharm using the Anaconda base virtual environment

Question

I'm trying to set up a Python project in PyCharm. I have Anaconda installed, and I want to make use of the Anaconda base virtual environment as the interpreter of the project. Is this possible? Going through the setup process I see only the other virtual environments, not the base environment.

Answer 1

I think I managed to figure this out. In PyCharm I'm simply selecting an existing interpreter (instead of creating a new environment), and pointing to the python executable in the Anaconda install folder.
