charmy 0.1.3

Basics

Install latest version of the PyCharm. Let’s assume the you want to install community edition version 4.5.4:

charmy install --version=4.5.4 --edition=community

List installed PyCharm versions:

charmy versions

Switch between installed PyCharm versions (imagine, you have both 4.5.3 and 4.5.4 installed and want to switch back to previous version):

charmy activate --version=4.5.3 --edition=community

If you don’t have a version preference and just want to install the latest version available (defaults to community edition), just type:

charmy install

You may be more explicit as well:

charmy install --edition=community

Install the latest professional version:

charmy install --edition=professional

By default charmy installs PyCharm in the PyCharm directory. If you want it to be installed elsewhere provide –destination directive:

charmy install --destination=/home/user/pycharm/

Note, that charmy remembers your last destination, so once you have specified a destination, you don’t have to specify it again (unless you want to change installation directory).

Check for the latest available version (without installing it):

charmy check-latest-available
