Python Pycharm error while installing packages from pypi on Ubuntu-CodePudding

I don't know what to do. No package is able to install. I am on Ubuntu if it is of any relevance. First image shows my settings, selected interpreter

Here is what happens when I try to install (" " above Package) numpy. It is the same for any other package.

When I click on "Details" I get this command output:

Error: Traceback (most recent call last):

This is what is in my "Manage repositories"

I also tried installing directly from command line with no luck.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this issue, I'd greatly appreciate it.

CodePudding user response：

Looks like the python3-distutils apt package is missing.

You can try installing it with sudo apt install python3-distutils

It might be necessary to recreate the venv afterwards. That should be possible through PyCharm.
