tar, gzip, <other> , unzip work until... Try-To-Compile-then Open from Pycharm
 

I have downloaded and extracted files from the download: pycharm-educational-1.0.1.tar.gz. I can't even find a "Readme" file for further instructions. I am ready(?) for the next step but I can't find a method to compile and run the package. I've tried the Terminal and used the File Cabinet method(s). I've even removed everything downloaded and began again - several times. I'm using Basic-256 in between until I find a way to complete this procedure so I can learn and work in conjunction with Python. I'm a 4-month NEWbie. What can I do from start to finish to open and run the PyCharm program?

EDIT #2: The same instructions apply to the educational edition. (link)


EDIT: Never mind! Not the educational edition.


No compilation needed.

Click on "installation instructions" on the download page (link)

Thanks, norobro ! I see how this works. Is there a way to display PyCharm Educational in a graphical mode like I get in Windows on my old XP op-sys?

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. Does the following not give a graphical interface?

From the command line (terminal):
You can try using your file manager to navigate to the pycharm-1.01/bin directory and then double click on pycharm.sh. I only have Thunar installed as a file manager and it will no longer execute shell scripts by double clicking. I don't know about Nautilus, if that is the default Ubuntu file manager.

Hope this helps!

The cd /path... method returned no such file or directory. The XP PyCharm looked like it was for younger students. Yet, that's OK with what I obtained because I can start with the Tutorial links and make progress. Than you very much!!
