Downloading the PyCharm IDE
PyCharm
You are welcome to use any integrated development environment (IDE) for this course, but I will only be supporting PyCharm. That's because PyCharm is a full featured development environment that includes real-time PEP-8 (formatting) checks. Proper formatting is required in this course, and I will check your code with PyCharm. So...if you use PyCharm as well, you should be able to submit perfectly formatted code every time.
Go to the PyCharm download page:

Downloading PyCharm
Double check that the download page chose your correct platform (Windows, Mac or Linux). For a quick install, you can choose the standard version. However with your student.foothill.edu email address you are entitled to a one-year student license, which gives you access to a lot more features. Either version will work for this class.
Mac users with an intel chip should choose the .dmg button, if you have an Apple chip just choose Download.
Once you click download, you should find the install file at the bottom of your browser or in your Downloads window. Just open the file and follow the default options unless you know you want something different.
