Pycharm is amazing IDE for Python development and companies like HP, Symantec, Twitter, Pinterest, Workiva and many more others use Pycharm as development IDE for Python. Pycharm run on Java so in order to install Pycharm you must have installed Java. At the time if writing this, I was using Pycharm 2016.2 with python 2.7

Although there are many ways to install Pycharm ranging from bash installation to repository installations. I am going to use a particular repository that I believe is most trustworthy and also believe that it is provided by Ubundu developers. It is called umake. In order to install pycharm, we first need to install a tool called umake. Umake lets you install various IDEs without much of a problem and best thing about it is that it is provided by Ubuntu developers.Pycharm installation from umake is so easy that you will forget all other options of installation easily after this.

    1. Open terminal/terminator by pressing "CTRL + ALT + t"
    2. type in "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make" and press Enter
    3. Provide password and press Enter
    4. Wait for it to finish
    5. Now type in "sudo apt-get update"
    6. wait for it to finish
    7. Now type in "sudo apt-get install umake" 
    8. Press Y when asked
    9. wait for it to finish installation
    10. Now type in "umake ide pycharm-community" for Pycharm community edition and "umake ide pycharm-professional" for Pycharm Professional edition.
    11. Wait for it to finish download and install
    12. wait for it...
