Installing an IDE for Linux
=============================

Installing Python
-----------------

Note, if you are working in an Aalto Workstation, Python has already been installed. If you aren't, the first step is to install Python itself. Navigate to `Python site <https://www.python.org/downloads/>`_ and download the latest version.

Download and extract the downloaded tar file.

Navigate to the folder you extracted the tar file, and run the following commands: 
    ``./configure``

    ``make``

    ``make test``
    
    ``sudo make install``

Python is now installed on your computer and you can move to install the IDE.

Installing PyCharm
------------------

Navigate to `PyCharm website <https:kuvat/kuvat/www.jetbrains.comkuvat/pycharmkuvat/downloadkuvat/#section-linux>`_ and download the Community Edition.

Installing Plugins in PyCharm
-----------------------------

Plugins offer extra functionality in addition to Python's default packages. Next we will install plugins numpy and scipy. Installing is easiest by clicking the Terminal button on PyCharm and then writing ``pip install <plugin name>``, so in our case ``pip install numpy`` and ``pip install scipy``.
