PyCharm is Python IDE developed by JetBrains, widely used for software development, data science and scientific computing. SciPy is a core library for scientific computing in Python used for advanced mathematics, signal processing, linear algebra and much more.

To use SciPy in PyCharm, these two methods are follow:

• Using PyCharm’s graphical interface (GUI)
• Using terminal

Before Starting, make sure Python and PyCharm is installed on your system.

Step 2: Open Project Settings

Go to:

• File --> Settings (on Windows/Linux)
• PyCharm --> Preferences (on macOS)

Step 3: Install NumPy (Required for SciPy)

Since SciPy depends on NumPy, install it first using terminal:

pip install numpy

Step 4: Open Python Interpreter

In Settings/Preferences, navigate to: Project: <YourProjectName> --> Python Interpreter

You'll see a list of installed packages.

Step 5: Search and Install SciPy

Click the "+" icon to open the package installer, then search for scipy in the search bar. Select SciPy from the results and click Install Package to complete the installation.

If you prefer using the terminal, you can install SciPy directly using pip.

Step 1: Open Terminal in PyCharm

Click on the "Terminal" tab at the bottom of PyCharm.

Step 2: Run the Installation Command

pip install scipy

Or, if python3 is used on your system:

python3 -m pip install scipy

PyCharm will install the package into your current project interpreter.
