I want to be able to use the paraview.simple
library in PyCharm. I already have paraview installed in my computer. This package cannot be installed with pip
and there are no .whl files as far as I can tell. The website docs recommend that the directory containing all the python files be added to PYTHONPATH.
How do I add the relevant folder in PYTHONPATH on my PyCharm session, and keep it there by default, such that when I close out and reopen the paraview.simple
library is still available?
You can add custom paths this way.
- Go to File->Settings->project Interpreter
- In the Project-Interpreter field, click the down facing arrow and select "show All"
- In that Menu, highlight your interpreter and then in the right menu, select the button "Show paths for the selected interpreter" (this is the last button)
- click the plus symbol to add your path
Adding interpreter paths in PyCharm:
- Project Settings/Project Interpreter: select "settings" icon
- Project Interpreters: select "tree" icon
- Interpreter Paths: select "plus" icon
