      well, I might be a little bit late, but you need to go to the link below where it says Download Link. Then at this time probably the name of the file is different so when you uncompress it you should you better use for the steps 3 and 4
      3) tar xf pycharm-community-2023.1.2.tar.gz
      4) cd pycharm-community-2023.1.2/bin/
      The next steps are the same as the tutorial of this post. I hope that it works like it worked to me.

    if you look at the download you hopefully downloaded, it prompted you to a link that would have a different version "...2022.3.2" is the most recent, but since your comment was from 2022 it is likely different than the example in the instructed example. ls -a will show you in your directory which tar.gz version you downloaded. Append your command to ratify your version, and it should work.

    Hello!

    Any idea how to overcome the following error message:

    java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: Exception java.awt.AWTError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. [in thread "DefaultDispatcher-worker-2"]

    Thank you!
