How do I use installed packages in PyCharm?

Adding a Path

Go into File → Settings → Project Settings → Project Interpreter.

Then press configure interpreter, and navigate to the “Paths” tab.

pycharm path tab

Press the + button in the Paths area. You can put the path to the module you’d like it to recognize.

But I don’t know the path..

Open the python interpreter where you can import the module.

>> import gnuradio
>> gnuradio.__file__
"path/to/gnuradio"

Most commonly you’ll have a folder structure like this:

foobarbaz/
  gnuradio/
    __init__.py
    other_file.py

You want to add foobarbaz to the path here.
