PyCharm to use virtualenv and dependencies created by PyCharm

Question

I have created a virtualenv using command prompt and have installed all my dependencies. How can I make PyCharm use the virtual env & dependencies created via command prompt

Answer 1

You should link the virtualenv in PyCharm.
In order to do this, go to:

File -> Settings -> Project -> Project Interpreter

Here, in the top right corner of the window, click on the gear icon and choose Add.
Then, choose Existing environment option and navigate in your computer until you find the python.exe for your virtualenv.

Than confirm modifications clicking Ok. This should be enough.

If you want to use it in a PyCharm configuration, please do not forget to choose it in the Python Interpreter option.
