Unable to start terminal on PyCharm on Ubuntu

Question

I wanted to run a code, and for that, I installed PyCharm on my Ubuntu Machine. Now. When I opened the PyCharm application and tried to open the terminal, it throws an error and doesn't open the terminal.

java.io.IOException: Exec_tty error:Unknown pycharm

Additional Notes: I am running Ubuntu 16.04 on VMware.

You should set your shell path. You could use cat /etc/shells command to see where you shell is then set it in PyCharm Preferences > Tools > Terminal > Shell path.
