I am completely new to pycharm so this might be obvious. But currently every-time I load a project in pycharm I need to re-install the packages. Is there a way to automatically load them, or keep them on the project?

CodePudding user response：

where you are installing the packages, to the python system interpreter or to the virtual environment ? If you are creating virtual env for all the projects you need to install packages everytime but if you use system python interpreter one time installation will be enough no need to install the same package again.

CodePudding user response：

The default option of pycharm is to generate a fresh virtual environment. Which is safe, but you need to re-install packages.

See below how to select an existing environment instead.
