libraries from pycharm vs pip, python 3.8

Question

Why when I using pip list I am receiving libraries list, but then i am checking in Pycharm, I have view more there for my project.

It means that using install pip I am installing libraries for all projects, but from Pycharm (in settings) only for selected project?

Answer 1

In PyCharm, you work in a Virtual Environment also known as venv . Installing packages there will not be installed globally.

For eg

In Pycharm, if you run pip install tabulate and then try importing tabulate outside PyCharm, it will show an ImportError and vice-versa

If you want to install that package for all projects , turn on Make available to all projects in project settings or while creating a new project.

To install package outside it, you will need to run pip install <package-name> in Command Prompt
