Download PyCharm Professional for Free: A Step-by-Step Guide

====================================================================================

PyChint is a popular integrated development environment (IDE) developed by JetBrains that provides advanced features such as code completion, debugging, and project management for Python developers. While the Community edition of PyChint is free to download and use, it has certain limitations compared to its Professional counterpart.

In this article, we will guide you through the process of downloading and installing PyChint Professional on your Linux system without spending a single penny.

Prerequisites

----------

Before proceeding with these instructions, ensure that:

1. You have a 64-bit or 32-bit Ubuntu-based distribution (such as Ubuntu, Mint, Lubuntu) installed on your computer.

2. Your operating system is updated to the latest version using the following command: `sudo apt-get update`

Step 1: Download Tarball

---------------------

To begin with, navigate to the official PyChint download page and click on either 'Tarball' or 'tar.gz (32-bit)' depending upon your Linux distribution architecture.

Step 2: Extract Tarball

------------------

Once you have downloaded the PyChint tar archive to your local machine, navigate to its location in your terminal or command prompt using the `cd` command followed by the path where you saved it:

```bash

$ cd ~/Downloads/pycharm-professional.tar.gz

```

Next, extract the contents of the tarball using either `tar -xf` (for older systems) or simply double-clicking on the tar file. This will expand all files inside into a new directory called `pycharm-professional`.

Step 3: Install PyChint Professional Using apt-get

------------------------------------------------

To install PyChint Professional from your local machine's package repository, open up a terminal window and run one of the following commands depending upon whether you have Python 2 or 3 installed:

For Python 2:

```bash

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexeyz/pycharm-stable

$ sudo apt-get update

```

Then execute this command to install PyChint Professional along with its dependencies. Be patient as it may take a while depending on your internet connection speed and system specifications.

For Python 3:

```bash

$ curl https://repo.jetbrains.com/igarbageater/pycharm-professional-latest-x86_64.run -o pychrm.sh &&

alt+x pychrm.sh | sudo bash -

```

After following these instructions, you should now have PyChint Professional successfully installed on your Ubuntu-based distribution without spending a single cent.
