How to use created C++ module by pybind11 in pycharm

I'm looking for a way to use C++ code inside my python project. For that, I'm using pybind11, and i used the following youtube videos as a tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eIkUnCLMFc&list=PLb9uFnQyeGTcKIHNUNUUuLbRhumAZd-fy&index=1

Based on that tutorial, I've successfully created a basic C++ module and managed to run the code using python command prompt in the cmd.

Here's the C++ code:

#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void say_hello()
{
    printf("Hello World from C++\n");
}

PYBIND11_MODULE(pybind11module, module)
{
    module.doc() = "Pybind11Module";
    module.def("say_hello", &say_hello);
}

And here's the successful run in the python command prompt: enter image description here

I was wondering is there a way to use the module i've created in other places as well? for example pycharm?

Thank you for your help

Thanks to Justin's comment, I've searched the internet for how to set a value for PYTHONPATH or sys.path.

Finally I found the next link: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/installing-uninstalling-and-reloading-interpreter-paths.html

This link covers the subject: how to install, uninstall, and upgrade interpreter paths. So, all i had to do in order to use my c++ code in python project was enter the path of the cpp module, and that solved my problem.
