There are two PyCharm editions: Community and Professional.
Both are downloadable from JetBrains website. Additionally, there is another edition, PyCharm Edu. JetBrains recommend this edition, if you are learning or teaching Programming with Python.

The supported platforms are Windows, Linux and macOS.

  • OS X: Open the .dmg package, and drag PyCharm to the Applications folder

Windows

Linux

There are two options on how to install PyCharm on Linux which depends on if your distro supports ppa packages.

  1. If your distro doesn’t support ppa packages or simply you want download PyCharm directly to the JetBrains website, follow this procedure:

    • Download the <pycharm-professional or pycharm-community>-*.tar.gz file from the download page.

    • Unpack the <pycharm-professional or pycharm-community>-*.tar.gz file to a different folder, if your current “Download” folder doesn’t support file execution

      tar xfz <pycharm-professional or pycharm-community>-*.tar.gz <new_archive_folder>

    • Switch to the bin directory:

      cd <new archive folder>/<pycharm-professional or pycharm-community>-*/bin

    • Run pycharm.sh from the bin subdirectory

  2. If your distro supports ppa packages, type this in the terminal:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mystic-mirage/pycharm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pycharm

If you are not sure about this information, choose the first method.
