What is PyCharm? It is a Python IDE (integrated development environment). It provides code inspections, smart code completion, quick fixes, code refactoring and more. It supports web development and many Python code libraries including numpy, pandas and Matplotlib. It also supports cross-technology development with SQL, JavaScript, Typescript, HTML, CSS, Angular, Node.js and others.

PyCharm comes in two different editions. One is paid and the other is free. The free one is called the Community edition. That one is a free download. Alternatively you could use Jupyter Notebook. I have installed Anaconda Navigator on my Windows computer to be able to run Python in a Jupyter Notebook.

Installation
