Missing R interpreter in PyCharm

Question

I'm using Python in PyCharm without any problems. Now I would like to learn R for personal development; but I couldn't manage to set it up into PyCharm. When I click "New Project" I can see R Package and R Project; but when I choose R Project I see a message "Missing R interpreter". When I try to choose file path: /usr/bin/R, it is empty.

I'm using Kubuntu, I have installed R via terminal. When I write:

which R

The output is:

/usr/bin/R

When I check the path for R folder (/usr/bin), I can't see an R folder there. More awkward is that if I type "R" in the terminal, R starts working. I also double checked with another IDE named RKWard where R works perfectly. But I don't want to use more than 1 IDE.

Answer 1

Have you tried installing it withPyCharms quickstart? In order to use R in PyCharm you have to install this plugin first.
