PyCharm on Jetson TX2

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TX2

Hello everybody!
I have just bought a brand-new Jetson TX2 and I installed PyCharm on it.
Apart from the JetPack 3.1, of course, I also install:
Python-dev, Python-test, Python-numpy…
When I launch PyCharm, it starts just fine, but then it doesn’t find any Python interpreter on the Jetson.
How can I solve this? I would like to use PyCharm on my Jetson. Is that possible?
I know for a fact that Python is installed because, apart from those apt-get install commands I launched, when I write Python on the terminal I get the “>>>” on the following line.
Thank you so very much for your help!!
Charlie

I am not familiar with PyCharm. Which Ubuntu package normally provides the interpreter version you need (did it give a specific error message as to what was missing)? I would think it uses the normal Ubuntu packages and won’t care that this is Jetson hardware.

add the interpreter if it isn’t listed

Hi I’m trying to install Pycharm on the Jetson and I receive the following error:

Startup Error: Application cannot start in headless mode

What should I do?

You should use something as a display: one way is to do the following:

In the case of connecting to Jetson with your computer:

$ ssh -X nvidia@

install java jdk

install pycharm from binary, it will work

Beside display, I noticed headless java makes problems for initiating display related (including pycharm which uses x11). You can handle headless problem by installing openjava(openjdk- like ubuntu) versions (ofcourse aftes cleaning all other java versions).
I installed pycharm on Jetson tx2 it works fine. I think you should take care of dependencies (just like usual ubuntu).
