PyCharm not finding Anaconda Python, giving "can't open file 'python': [Errno 2] No such file or directory?"

Question

I am new to Python. Installed Anaconda on my system. I installed PyCharm too. When I try to run a file from PyCharm I get this error message:

C:\Python\Test\venv\Scripts\python.exe python 3.6 C:/Python/Test/while.py C:\Python\Test\venv\Scripts\python.exe: can't open file 'python': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Answer 1

You have mentioned that you have already installed the Anaconda in your system. You can try the following,

1. Go to Project Interpreter in Pycharm
2. Under Conda Environment, choose the Existing Environment and select the python.exe from the Anaconda Installation folder in the Interpreter field.
3. Enable the option, Make available to all projects and click ok.

You should now be able to see the libraries in the Project Interpreter.

Answer 2

Under Conda Environment, you can try to choose X:\Anaconda3\Scripts\conda.exe.
