How do I configure a Python interpreter in IntelliJ IDEA with the PyCharm plugin?

With the Python plugin installed:

  1. Navigate to File > Project Structure.
  2. Under the Project menu for Project SDK, select “New” and
  3. Select “Python SDK”, then select “Local”.

Provided you have a Python SDK installed, the flow should be natural from there – navigate to the location your Python installation lives.
