Use Conda environment in pycharm

Question

Conda env is activated using source activate env_name.

How can I activate the environment in pycharm ?

Answer 1

As mentioned in one of the comments above, activating an environment can run scripts that perform other actions such as setting environment variables. I have worked in one environment that did this. What worked in this scenario was to:

• open a conda prompt
• activate the environment
• run pycharm from the conda prompt

Pycharm then had access to the environment variables that were set by activating the environment.
