WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.319 --> 00:00:01.386 Hi and welcome back. 2 00:00:01.386 --> 00:00:04.423 In this video, we're going to be installing PyCharm. 3 00:00:04.423 --> 00:00:07.293 PyCharm is a Python editor. 4 00:00:07.293 --> 00:00:10.203 It's a programme that lets us write our Python code 5 00:00:10.203 --> 00:00:13.919 and run it and add other files to a project 6 00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.643 and, you know, do a bunch of stuff. 7 00:00:16.643 --> 00:00:18.223 But it's just an editor. 8 00:00:18.223 --> 00:00:20.455 It just lets us write the code 9 00:00:20.455 --> 00:00:23.334 and gives us a few more pieces of functionality. 10 00:00:23.334 --> 00:00:26.151 You don't have to use PyCharm if you don't want. 11 00:00:26.151 --> 00:00:29.408 You can use any text editor, it's just Notepad 12 00:00:29.408 --> 00:00:33.030 on Windows or Notepad++ if you have installed that. 13 00:00:33.030 --> 00:00:35.566 You can use Atom or Visual Studio Code, 14 00:00:35.566 --> 00:00:38.019 you can use Sublime Text, you can use TextMate. 15 00:00:38.019 --> 00:00:40.299 There's a lot of editors you can use out there 16 00:00:40.299 --> 00:00:44.024 if for some reason you don't want to use PyCharm. 17 00:00:44.024 --> 00:00:47.584 However, I'm assuming you're a beginner in Python, 18 00:00:47.584 --> 00:00:52.119 and if so, I really recommend that you go for PyCharm. 19 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.538 It is the best editor for starting up with. 20 00:00:55.538 --> 00:00:57.626 It gives you a lot of bang for your buck, 21 00:00:57.626 --> 00:01:00.658 it does a lot of stuff for you and it's really helpful. 22 00:01:00.658 --> 00:01:01.961 So I definitely recommend that. 23 00:01:01.961 --> 00:01:04.159 And also, as you get better at Python, 24 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:06.018 you'll discover that PyCharm does more and more things 25 00:01:06.018 --> 00:01:07.708 that you didn't know about before 26 00:01:07.708 --> 00:01:09.296 that will keep making your life easy. 27 00:01:09.296 --> 00:01:12.528 I use PyCharm at work and I recommend it for you too. 28 00:01:12.528 --> 00:01:14.591 Anyway, that's enough of the sales pitch. 29 00:01:14.591 --> 00:01:16.426 Don't worry, this thing is free 30 00:01:16.426 --> 00:01:18.400 so you don't have to pay anything. 31 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.983 Go over to "www.jetbrains.com" 32 00:01:22.138 --> 00:01:27.098 and then lets go over to Tools and find PyCharm here. 33 00:01:27.098 --> 00:01:29.252 And notice how JetBrains has a bunch of other IDEs 34 00:01:29.252 --> 00:01:31.198 for different programming languages. 35 00:01:31.198 --> 00:01:32.793 You don't want to instal any of them 36 00:01:32.793 --> 00:01:35.160 other than PyCharm, unless of course you are 37 00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:38.090 doing some work in other languages as well. 38 00:01:38.090 --> 00:01:40.576 So let's go into the PyCharm page 39 00:01:40.576 --> 00:01:43.552 and then you'll be greeted with two options. 40 00:01:43.552 --> 00:01:47.104 When you, well, first of all, press "Download Now" here, 41 00:01:47.104 --> 00:01:49.892 and now you are greeted with two options, 42 00:01:49.892 --> 00:01:52.059 Professional or Community. 43 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.624 Now, select the operating system that you want. 44 00:01:56.624 --> 00:01:58.521 If you are using Windows, then go for Windows. 45 00:01:58.521 --> 00:02:02.914 And otherwise select the other operating systems there. 46 00:02:02.914 --> 00:02:06.157 And then make sure you go for Community edition. 47 00:02:06.157 --> 00:02:09.171 Okay, this is free, completely free software, 48 00:02:09.171 --> 00:02:11.766 as in you don't have to pay anything for it. 49 00:02:11.766 --> 00:02:14.734 If you use the Professional edition, that's a free trial. 50 00:02:14.734 --> 00:02:17.818 So after a month, I think, you'll be asked to pay. 51 00:02:17.818 --> 00:02:19.901 So go and download the Community edition, 52 00:02:19.901 --> 00:02:22.767 that's the version we're using in this course. 53 00:02:22.767 --> 00:02:26.252 Of course if you're working for a company and they pay, 54 00:02:26.252 --> 00:02:27.871 I recommend you use the Professional edition. 55 00:02:27.871 --> 00:02:30.152 It does give you a few more things, 56 00:02:30.152 --> 00:02:32.447 particularly as you go into web development 57 00:02:32.447 --> 00:02:34.682 which is a key use case for Python. 58 00:02:34.682 --> 00:02:36.853 And we'll look at that later on in the course. 59 00:02:36.853 --> 00:02:39.251 But for now, download the Community edition, 60 00:02:39.251 --> 00:02:41.842 instal it like any good old normal programme, 61 00:02:41.842 --> 00:02:44.328 and then you'll be able to launch it. 62 00:02:44.328 --> 00:02:47.396 Now, in the next video, we'll launch PyCharm 63 00:02:47.396 --> 00:02:49.456 and we're going to look at joining PyCharm 64 00:02:49.456 --> 00:02:53.311 with the Python version we've just installed, Python 3.6. 65 00:02:53.311 --> 00:02:56.023 So let's go on to the next video and look at that.
