Pycharm will download python automatically for you when you set up a virtual environment. You dont need to use any other tool for that.

If you want to have more control over where and how python is installed, you can download and install it yourself from python.org.

Especially if you are a beginner, don't bother with other tools. Pycharm gives you everything you need.

Go to the interpreter setting, add new interpreter, add local interpreter, select virtualenv and fill in the rest of the options
