Install PyCharm with the default settings
Open PyCharm
Create a new project to test. Define its location, create a new environment using Virutalenv and create a main.py welcome script.
Edit main.py:
import opensim as osim
print(osim.GetVersionAndDate())
quit()
Go to File…Settings (Ctrl + Alt + S)
Find Project…Python Interpretor…Show all
Click on + to add a new interpretor
Go to Conda Environment, use an existing environment and select the opensim_env
Click Ok and wait until all indexing is complete.
Run the main program by opening the main file, right-clicking on the script, and clicking Run ‘main’.
If successful, you will see a similar message on the terminal:
