I am new to programming and have just started a Python course. I want to use PyCharm, so I downloaded and turned it on (v. 4.5, community edition). I previously installed Python 3.5 64-bit from python.org (I am using Windows 10).
To start using PyCharm, I need a project interpreter that I can select in the settings. As far as I know, the interpreter is "py.exe", but when I select it, I get this error message: "The selected file is not a valid home for the Python SDK." I also tried to use every file whose name contained "python" or "py", and failed.
On every website and video that I see, they select a file called "python.exe", but they use Python 3.4 or a previous version. I verified that PyCharm supports 3.5 ("Initial support for Python 3.5").
Is there something I'm doing wrong? What should I do to use PyCharm?
All answers are welcome. Thanks in advance.
