For this course, we shall be using PyCharm as our IDE. Let us now look at how to navigate on PyCharm. Before starting to use PyCharm, we need to know some basics such as saving the file, opening the file, opening the project, opening the Python console for very simple coding, and opening the script for writing and editing the code. Firstly, we create a project and within the project consists of the respective Python files where we code to create a project, we go to the main menu, select File, New Project, browse for where we want to save our project, and we creatit.

In order to open any PyCharm file, we need to first open PyCharm. And we need to go to file open and select our desired file to open the respective Python file.
