I can find PyCharm Pro, PyCharm CE, and PyCharm EDU in Ubuntu Software app, but I am trying to get better with apt-get commands in a terminal window. Yet when I type

apt-cache search PyCharm

I am unable to see it in the list that is returned. Is some software not available through apt-get? Do I need to connect to some repository to complete my apt-cache list?

I have been using Linux for 2 days. Thanks!

In Ubuntu Pycharm is only available to install as a snap package and is not in official Ubuntu repositories. So you can't find it using, apt or apt-cache, you have to use snap or gnome softwares GUI.

Simply use:

snap search pycharm

I just download the tar.gz file from the JetBrains site

https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/?fromIDE=#section=linux

and then extract it; I actually put it into a ~/software directory for convenience.

You will have to set up your own desktop launcher etc. When you run it it does check for updates and gives you a message when one is available, either as a patch or a new version that needs a new .tar.gz download.

I've been using it in Xubuntu for many years with other JetBrains tools.
