Answer 1

NLTK GUI can be started from PyCharm Community Edition Python console too. Just issue 2 commands:

1) import nltk

2) nltk.download_gui()

but nltk GUI will not work if you are behind a proxy server for that at the console you must first set proxy setting

SET HTTP_PROXY=proxy.mycompany.com:8080

and then it will work.
