Pycharm installation on Ubuntu

First go to the PyCharm download section and grab the latest stable version of PyCharm Community Edition or you can use following wget command to download it directly into terminal.

$ wget https://download.jetbrains.com/python/pycharm-community-2017.3.2.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf pycharm-community-2017.3.2.tar.gz
$ cd pycharm-community-2017.3.2/

To run pycharm like any other command, create a soft link from a directory (/usr/bin/ in this example) in your PATH environmental variable to the pycharm executable and run pycharm as follows.

$ sudo ln -s ./pycharm-community-2017.3.2/bin/pycharm.sh /usr/bin/pycharm
$ pycharm

Note: Pycharm is now available as a snap package. Users of Ubuntu 16.04 or later can install it from the command line:

$ sudo snap install [pycharm-professional|pycharm-community] --classic
