Your problem probably is that you haven t installed python  Meaning that  if you are using Windows  you have not downloaded the installer for Windows  that you can find on the official Python website   In case you have  chances are that PyCharm cannot find your Python installation because its not in the default location  which is usually C  Python27 or C  Python33  for me at least    So  if you have installed Python and it still gives this error  then there can be two things that have happened    You use a virtualenv and that virtualenv has been deleted or the filepath changed  In this case  you will have to find proceed to the next part of this answer  Your python installation is not in its default place  in which case you will need to find its location  and locate the python exe file    Once you have located the necessary binaries  you will need to tell PyCharm were to look    Open your settings dialogue CTRL   ALT   S Then you will need to type in interpreter in the search box    As you can see above  you will need to go to Project Interpreter and then go to Python Interpreter  The location has been selected for you in the above image  To the side you will see a couple of options as icons  click the big   icon  then click on local  because your interpreter is on this computer  This will open up a dialogue box  Make sure to select the python exe file of that directory  do not give pycharm the whole directory  It just wants the interpreter
