- After that is added, there should be a list of packages; you will need to add some to this so click the + near the top right. Once the available packages window comes up, you will want to add:
- numpy, scipy, matplotlib, pandas
- Build, Execution, Deployment
- In Console, pick "Use existing console"
Starting a new project
- Create New Project
- Pick or create a new folder to work in
- Use existing interpreter for newest version of Python
Once the project window opens and after indexing is complete:
- From View menu, pick Scientific mode
- From File menu, pick New then Python File. Give the file a name and hit return.
