PyCharm cannot identify Interpreter after initial PyCharm download

I am running Mac OSX 10.8.4 with Python 2.7 and I just downloaded PyCharm Version: 3.0 Build: 131.190.

When I opened it and chose "Create New Project", in the 'Interpreter' pull-down menu there was no options to chose an interpreter (It just says '').

Just in case it was an issue with Python (although I use IDLE regularly), I downloaded Python 3.3 just to see if the new version would be identified by PyCharm, but again with no luck - the 'Interpreter' pull down menu had no options to select (It just says '').

Im sure I am just overlooking something during installation, but why can't PyCharm identify the Interpreter?

Thanks!

No worries, you can do this:

  1. Open Preferences of pyCharm.
  2. Click on Project:
  3. Select the virtual env interpreter in drop down and apply & ok.
  4. Go To edit configuration and select your interpreter there.

Its not supposed to. It did not for me. When I fist installed it, and created a new project, I just directed PyCharm to my Python installation.

You need to click one "New Project", then click on the "..." button next to the interpreter drop-down box, and then, you need to click on the + sign, choose to add "local", and then point to python.exe for whatever interpreter is installed.
