Install Python package from GitHub using PyCharm

I created VirtualEnv in PyCharm to install my Python packages. I wanted to install this fork of the django project from GitHub.

https://github.com/django-nonrel/django

For packages available from PyPI, I would usually use PyCharm's built-in search tool, but I'm not sure how to properly install it in VirtualEnv in PyCharm from GitHub. Does anyone know how to do this?

I personally would suggest cloning the repository to a local folder

git clone https://github.com/django-nonrel/django.git my_folder

Then install it manually:

 cd my_folder python setup.py build python setup.py install

I would not recommend using PyCharm to install packages, since you will become dependent on it ... Instead, use pip, which is the pycharm tool anyway

The following works for me with PyCharm Community Edition 2018.1 on Xubuntu 16.04:

After loading the project (which was associated with the virtual environment that I wanted to update), I opened the PyCharm terminal window ( Alt F12 or View> Tool Windows> Terminal) and then used the command

 pip install git+https://github.com/v-chojas/pyodbc@unicodecolumnsize

install pyodbc from the "unicodecolumnsize" branch of the v-chojas user v-chojas .

After the installation was completed, the package was found in the widow of the translator of the project.

On OSX + PyCharm 2018.1, you must restart PyCharm in order to receive the changes and recognize the import from the newly installed packages.

I tried to find a way to do this in the PyCharm user interface, but this is possible thanks to the Python integrated console:

  • Download the project using the appropriate VE
  • From the Tools drop-down list, click Python Console

  • Then use pip from the console:

     import pip pip.main(['install','packagename'])

Alternatively, in the console:

I ran into the same problem, all I did: configured a project interpreter for Python3 inside venv / scripts, which you use to install pip. Remember to activate venv. Now you can use pip installation on pycharm or Prompot. The problem is that even with "venv / lib / sitepackeges" in your sys.path project, pycharm only searches for packages in which the project interpreter
