Optional

Everything in Installation works from a terminal. This page is only for driving the same environment from PyCharm.

1. Add the environment as an interpreter

Settings → Project → Python Interpreter → Add Interpreter → Add Local Interpreter → Conda Environment → Use existing environmentrlbootcamp.

If PyCharm cannot find conda, point it at the executable directly: ~/miniforge3/bin/conda, or ...\miniforge3\Scripts\conda.exe on Windows.

Screenshot to be added — task A6.

2. Point notebooks at it

PyCharm's notebook support uses the project interpreter by default. Open any .ipynb and check the kernel selector in the toolbar reads rlbootcamp.

3. Confirm

In a notebook cell:

import sys; print(sys.executable)

The path must contain rlbootcamp. See notebook kernel troubleshooting.

Fallback

If PyCharm's notebook support fights you, run jupyter lab from a terminal with the environment active and use the browser. Nothing in the bootcamp depends on the IDE.
