I want to be able to use the paraview.simple library in PyCharm. I already have paraview installed in my computer. This package cannot be installed with pip and there are no .whl files as far as I can tell. The website docs recommend that the directory containing all the python files be added to PYTHONPATH.
How do I add the relevant folder in PYTHONPATH on my PyCharm session, and keep it there by default, such that when I close out and reopen the paraview.simple library is still available?
You can add custom paths this way.
Adding interpreter paths in PyCharm:
In PyCharm version 2020.3.1 use the following workflow instead (see official docs):
Ctrl+Alt+S - open Settings.
File|Settings|Project|Project Structure...
You will see project folder structure. Mark subfolders as Sources or Excluded
