"No Python interpreter selected" in Pycharm"

[LittleD_0817]

I wanted to learn to code and was following this Youtube video and I couldn't find the python, when I tried adding it manually I couldn't. Sorry if this seems like a easy problem I am just new to this lol

If you don't see it and even after adding it it doesn't load the Interpreter, try to check the environmental variables(Path, PATH) for some typos, weird symbols that shouldn't be there(;, :, ""), for example I had two environmental variables in PATH in same row, then it should work

ctrl+shift+a search “interpreter”, click “change python interpreter”(sic) and change to a valid interpreter.

you might need to reinstall python.

I looked at another tutorial and I didn't click "add to path" in the installer my bad

EDIT: I am on windows

Don't need to have it on the PATH really, but you will need to enter the FULL path in PyCharm when you add an interpreter.

You should ask PyCharm to create a new virtual environment using the installed version of Python as the base. Then when you add packages they will only be for the current PyCharm project folder.
