One approach is to use Anaconda (conda). We don’t have complete or “official” instructions for how to do that, but [here’s a thread](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/dls-1-my-own-project-in-pycharm/74781) with a lot of useful info and links to get you started down that road.

_(Note: I realize this is an old thread, but I just found it with search. Given that other people might also find it, it seems worth adding a bit more information.)_
