1. Ensure that you have downloaded and installed Python on your computer.
If you are on Windows, you can download Python from the Microsoft
Store and install it as a Python interpreter. Once the Python
application is downloaded from the Microsoft Store, it becomes
available in the list of the Python executables.

Note that interpreters added from the Microsoft Store installations
come with some limitations. Because of restrictions on Microsoft
Store apps, Python scripts may not have full write access to shared
locations such as TEMP and the registry.

Click the Python Interpreter selector and choose Add Interpreter.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the project Settings/Preferences and go
to Project <project name> | Python Interpreter. Then click the The
Configure project interpreter icon and select Add.

If PyCharm detects no Python on your machine, it provides two
options: to download the latest Python versions from python.org or
to specify a path to the Python executable (in case of non-standard
installation).
