Question: What problems do you encounter?

At first, when we haven't download Python yet and
already installed PyCharm Community Edition. When
we're about to create a program, the problem happened
as shown below.

Based on the picture above, it stated that, “No Python

interpreter configured for the project". So, before
downloading PyCharm Community Edition, we must need
to ensure that we have downloaded Python's latest
version and installed it in our system.
