1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
In this lesson, you will install a
Python IDE on your computer.

2
00:00:04,001 --> 00:00:07,000
But what is an IDE?

3
00:00:07,001 --> 00:00:11,000
IDE means integrated
development environment.

4
00:00:11,001 --> 00:00:16,000
Very basically, but this is a text
editor with many more functionalities

5
00:00:16,001 --> 00:00:20,000
which will make your life easier
when you develop programs.

6
00:00:20,001 --> 00:00:23,000
So in this video, we are going
to install the PyCharm IDE,

7
00:00:23,001 --> 00:00:27,000
which is an IDE
specifically made for Python.

8
00:00:27,001 --> 00:00:31,000
After the installation, I will show you
some of the most important features

9
00:00:31,001 --> 00:00:34,000
and functionalities you
can get from this software.

10
00:00:34,001 --> 00:00:38,000
And note that I have chosen
PyCharm for this course,

11
00:00:38,001 --> 00:00:44,000
which is nice to get started and is
available for both Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

12
00:00:44,001 --> 00:00:49,000
This IDE is actually really
used by Python developers

13
00:00:49,001 --> 00:00:52,000
for developing real
applications in real jobs.

14
00:00:52,001 --> 00:00:58,000
But this is not necessarily the IDE
you will need or want to use in the future.

15
00:00:58,001 --> 00:01:03,000
Okay, feel free to use
any text editor or IDE

16
00:01:03,001 --> 00:01:07,000
of your choice, whatever
which suits you best.

17
00:01:07,001 --> 00:01:10,000
And here, if you have
never used an IDE before,

18
00:01:10,001 --> 00:01:17,000
then I recommend you to install PyCharm now,
at least for the duration of the course.

19
00:01:17,001 --> 00:01:18,000
So let's get to it.

20
00:01:18,001 --> 00:01:20,000
Let's install PyCharm.

21
00:01:20,001 --> 00:01:24,000
So you can go on Google
and just type PyCharm here

22
00:01:24,001 --> 00:01:30,000
and you will get to the first
page on jetbrains.com/pycharm.

23
00:01:30,001 --> 00:01:33,000
Okay, so that will be something similar.

24
00:01:33,001 --> 00:01:38,000
And then you have a button here, Download,
which will take you to the download page.

25
00:01:38,001 --> 00:01:45,000
So I'm going to install the Windows version
here for this course and for my setup.

26
00:01:45,001 --> 00:01:48,000
And you have the instructions
here for Mac OS and Linux.

27
00:01:48,001 --> 00:01:51,000
And I'm going to make a
very quick parentheses here

28
00:01:51,001 --> 00:01:55,000
for Mac OS and Linux
before I go back to Windows.

29
00:01:55,001 --> 00:01:59,000
So for Mac OS, first you're
going to choose the Community.

30
00:01:59,001 --> 00:02:02,000
Okay, don't choose professional,
which is a paid version.

31
00:02:02,001 --> 00:02:05,000
The Community is a free version.

32
00:02:05,001 --> 00:02:09,000
So choose the version that
corresponds to your Mac hardware.

33
00:02:09,001 --> 00:02:11,000
So Intel or Apple Silicon.

34
00:02:11,001 --> 00:02:13,000
And just download that.

35
00:02:13,001 --> 00:02:17,000
And you can see these
installation instructions.

36
00:02:17,001 --> 00:02:21,000
So you download it and then you
mount it as another disk in your system.

37
00:02:21,001 --> 00:02:25,000
And you just copy the PyCharm
to your application folder.

38
00:02:25,001 --> 00:02:30,000
From that folder, you are going
to be able to just start PyCharm.

39
00:02:30,001 --> 00:02:36,000
Okay, and for Linux, you also
have installation instructions here.

40
00:02:36,001 --> 00:02:38,000
Okay, that you can check.

41
00:02:38,001 --> 00:02:41,000
So check the last instructions
and you also have the community.

42
00:02:41,001 --> 00:02:44,001
If you want to download directly, you
can just download here the community.

43
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,000
And if you are on Ubuntu,
you can just use Snap

44
00:02:51,001 --> 00:02:53,000
to install PyCharm with
just one line of code.

45
00:02:53,001 --> 00:02:56,000
And actually, let's go
to Ubuntu for a second.

46
00:02:56,001 --> 00:03:02,000
So to install PyCharm on
Ubuntu, first open a terminal

47
00:03:02,001 --> 00:03:12,000
and then simply type sudo Snap
install PyCharm dash community.

48
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
and then dash dash classic.

49
00:03:16,001 --> 00:03:22,000
So sudo Snap install PyCharm
dash community dash dash classic.

50
00:03:22,001 --> 00:03:24,000
Provide your password.

51
00:03:24,001 --> 00:03:26,000
And then you wait a little bit.

52
00:03:26,001 --> 00:03:32,000
It's going to download the
different snaps and install it for you.

53
00:03:32,001 --> 00:03:40,000
Okay, and once you see
that, PyCharm is now installed.

54
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
You can close the terminal and
now if you want to launch PyCharm,

55
00:03:45,001 --> 00:03:50,000
you can just open a terminal and
start PyCharm dash community

56
00:03:50,001 --> 00:03:55,000
and press enter all
directly with the application

57
00:03:55,001 --> 00:03:58,000
search for PyCharm
community, press enter.

58
00:03:58,001 --> 00:04:05,000
And then so you can confirm that,
continue and send or don't send data.

59
00:04:05,001 --> 00:04:08,000
And then you are going to get into PyCharm.

60
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
All right, and now let's
go back to Windows.

61
00:04:12,001 --> 00:04:16,000
So we are going to install
the community edition.

62
00:04:16,001 --> 00:04:18,000
So you click on download.

63
00:04:18,001 --> 00:04:20,000
It's free. It's open source.

64
00:04:20,001 --> 00:04:22,000
You're going to save the file here.

65
00:04:22,001 --> 00:04:28,000
Okay, whatever is after this
page, you don't need to do that.

66
00:04:28,001 --> 00:04:31,000
You just save the PyCharm
executable for installation.

67
00:04:31,001 --> 00:04:39,000
Okay, and once this is done, so you can
just click on the executable to start it.

68
00:04:39,001 --> 00:04:42,000
Okay, if you have a
prompt, you click on yes.

69
00:04:42,001 --> 00:04:47,000
And then so next, you can
choose where you want to install it.

70
00:04:47,001 --> 00:04:50,000
I'm going to keep the program
files by default, which is nice.

71
00:04:50,001 --> 00:04:51,000
Okay, next.

72
00:04:51,001 --> 00:04:56,000
If you want a desktop
shortcut, you can just click here.

73
00:04:56,001 --> 00:04:58,000
Then you can click on next.

74
00:04:58,001 --> 00:05:04,000
Okay, install and just wait
for the installation to be done.

75
00:05:04,001 --> 00:05:13,000
Okay, and then you can click on finish
and PyCharm is installed on your computer.

76
00:05:13,001 --> 00:05:15,000
So now what you can do, you can directly,

77
00:05:15,001 --> 00:05:20,000
if you have a shortcut on your
desktop, you can directly click on it.

78
00:05:20,001 --> 00:05:27,000
Or you can just search for
PyCharm here by pressing

79
00:05:27,001 --> 00:05:29,000
the Windows key and
then simply typing PyCharm.

80
00:05:29,001 --> 00:05:32,000
And you can click here on PyCharm.

81
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Okay, so just click on
okay, if you have this,

82
00:05:36,001 --> 00:05:40,000
maybe you won't have this for
the first time you installed PyCharm.

83
00:05:40,001 --> 00:05:47,000
And then you directly come to this window
and you can just create a new project here.

84
00:05:47,001 --> 00:05:51,000
So you can see here, you can
choose the location of your project.

85
00:05:51,001 --> 00:05:56,000
So by default, it's going to be in
your home directory for your user.

86
00:05:56,001 --> 00:06:00,000
And then it's going to create
a PyCharm projects folder.

87
00:06:00,001 --> 00:06:05,000
And then create Python, well, you
can just change the name if you want.

88
00:06:05,001 --> 00:06:11,000
Okay, let's say my first project.

89
00:06:11,001 --> 00:06:19,000
You can keep those settings
here and click on create.

90
00:06:19,001 --> 00:06:23,000
Okay, so you have some tips.

91
00:06:23,001 --> 00:06:24,001
I'm going to skip that.

92
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,000
And it's going to install Python modules.

93
00:06:31,001 --> 00:06:34,000
Okay, it's going to take
care of everything for you.

94
00:06:34,001 --> 00:06:39,000
So you can directly start
writing code with Python.

95
00:06:39,001 --> 00:06:42,000
Okay, let's do this.

96
00:06:42,001 --> 00:06:48,000
And you are now in the PyCharm
IDE, okay, with a first program,

97
00:06:48,001 --> 00:06:52,000
okay, that you have here,
like a Hello World program,

98
00:06:52,001 --> 00:06:57,000
okay, in a new file here
that is called main.py.

99
00:06:57,001 --> 00:07:00,000
So we're going to
see that just a bit later.

100
00:07:00,001 --> 00:07:02,812
For now, what I'm
going to do, I'm going

101
00:07:02,824 --> 00:07:06,000
just to configure the
PyCharm with you, okay,

102
00:07:06,001 --> 00:07:08,000
to show you the different
settings I'm going to

103
00:07:08,001 --> 00:07:11,000
use so you can continue
to follow this course.

104
00:07:11,001 --> 00:07:15,000
And whether you are on
Windows, Linux or macOS from now,

105
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:19,000
this should be the exact same thing,
okay, the options will be the same.

106
00:07:19,001 --> 00:07:22,000
The code will be the same,
everything will be the same.

107
00:07:22,001 --> 00:07:28,000
So you can first go on
file and then settings.

108
00:07:28,001 --> 00:07:34,000
Okay, and on appearance
and behavior appearance

109
00:07:34,001 --> 00:07:38,000
here, you can choose
the theme for the IDE.

110
00:07:38,001 --> 00:07:42,000
So by default, I don't
know, maybe you will have

111
00:07:42,001 --> 00:07:45,000
the light one, okay,
which is, well, very white.

112
00:07:45,001 --> 00:07:48,000
And what I recommend is
to use this one, dark color.

113
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:54,000
Okay, which is easier for the
eyes and is quite nice, okay.

114
00:07:54,001 --> 00:07:57,000
So choose a dark theme if possible,

115
00:07:57,001 --> 00:08:02,000
so your eyes won't hurt that much
after a few hours on the screen.

116
00:08:02,001 --> 00:08:07,000
And then you can go here
on the left on editor on general

117
00:08:07,001 --> 00:08:14,000
and click on that checkbox
here, change font size with control

118
00:08:14,001 --> 00:08:17,000
mouse will, okay, just click
on that and click on apply.

119
00:08:17,001 --> 00:08:20,000
So you will be able to
scroll in the text editor,

120
00:08:20,001 --> 00:08:23,000
okay, to make it bigger
or smaller as you want.

121
00:08:23,001 --> 00:08:29,000
And then you can click on okay, so
you have the main here, the main editor,

122
00:08:29,001 --> 00:08:35,000
okay, you can zoom in with control mouse
and maybe comment mouse on macOS.

123
00:08:35,001 --> 00:08:40,000
So you can zoom in, zoom
out, okay, to make the text bigger.

124
00:08:40,001 --> 00:08:45,000
All right, and now your PyCharm
IDE is installed and set up

125
00:08:45,001 --> 00:08:49,000
and you can start to write and
execute your own Python program.

126
00:08:49,001 --> 00:08:52,000
And we are going to see
that in the next lesson.
