PyCharm Community Edition is a free and open-source IDE which is perfect for pure Python coding. For professional Web and Scientific development see PyCharm Professional Edition.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for Linux Mint 18.2 (Sonya), Linux Mint 18.3 (Sylvia), Linux Mint 19 (Tara), Linux Mint 19.1 (Tessa) and the latest release, Linux Mint 20 (Ulyana). You can find out which version of Linux Mint you’re running by opening System info from the Preferences menu.
On Linux Mint 20, /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref needs to be removed before Snap can be installed. This can be accomplished from the command line:
sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref
sudo apt update
To install snap from the Software Manager application, search for snapd and click Install. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either restart your machine, or log out and in again, to complete the installation.
To install PyCharm CE, simply use the following command:
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
