1. If you go to pycharm project interpreter -> clicked on one of the installed packages then hover -> you will see where pycharm is installing the packages. This is where you are supposed to have your package installed.

2. Now if you did sudo -H pip3 install pip3 installs it to different directory which is /usr/local/lib/site-packages

since it is different directory from what pycharm knows hence your package is not showing in pycharm.

Solution: just install the package using pycharm by going to File->Settings->Project->Project Interpreter -> click on (+) and search the package you want to install and just click ok.

-> you will be prompted package successfully installed and you will see it pycharm.
