So you should have now successfully installed Python onto your computer,
and we're ready to proceed to the next step,
which is to download PyCharm. Again, in the course resources,
you'll find a link to the home page to download PyCharm.
And once you get to this page,
you should click on the download button and this takes you to the options page.
Now, here, it should automatically select your system.
So currently I'm on a Windows computer,
and it's automatically selected the Windows tab.
And you can click on the system requirements to make sure that your computer is
compatible. And you can also take a look at the installation instructions,
which is pretty simple. It's basically download and run.
So there's two versions of PyCharm;
the professional and the community version.
You're going to select the community version because it's completely free and
open source to use.
The professional version has a free trial and after that you'll have to pay for
it, but the community version already has all of the features that we need
and more. Once you click on download, that will take a little while,
anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes. So while you're waiting for that to run,
you can head over to the next lesson
and I'll talk about some of the features of PyCharm that we can look forward
to. Now, if you are on a Mac, the process is pretty much the same.
So head over to the link that's in the course resources,
click on download and download the community version of PyCharm.
Now, if you're a Linux user, you can also toggle to the Linux tab.
And while your here,
you can look at the system requirements and the installation instructions.
Once you are ready, go ahead and click on the download button for the community
edition, which is free and open-source, and then download will begin.
And again, it'll take anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes.
So let it download and head over to the next lesson where I want to show you
some of the great features of PyCharm.
