PyCharm

I need to debug an py-script in PyCharm that makes use of unix binaries like "which, grep" and so on.

If I start the py-script from Terminal (bash), unix binaries are found and all works like expected. If I start the script from PyCharm "Debug" or "Run", there seems to be no "PATH" set => the unix binaries were not found.

Am I missing sth.?

How do I give a path in PyCharm?

Create a new path variablePress Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Appearance & Behavior | Path Variables. and enter the name of the new variable (for example, DATA_PATH ) and its value that points to the target directory with the data file on your disk.

Should I update PATH variable when installing PyCharm?

It is not important to change the installation destination of the PyCharm application, but you could also change the destination to be directly on your C: similarly to the Python installation. However, we suggest simply going with the default path.

Add the PATH environment variable to your Run Configuration (Run->Edit Configurations…) like this: /usr/local/bin:$PATH

Create a new environment variable in your run configuration named PATH, and set it equal to the output of running echo $PATH on your command line. This will let you get around the issue.
