Pyrealsense2 - Terminal Works, Pycharm Doesn't

SDK Version	2.0
Language	Python

I have been using pycharm on my jetson nano with small simple codes (I'm new to python and wanted to test out basic commands) and now that I want to start using the cameras I went to install pyrealsense2. I followed the instructions here: https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/tree/master/wrappers/python
but pycharm never recongizes pyrealsense2 when I try to import it

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/user/documents/projects_pycharm/GetPixel.py", line 3, in
import pyrealsense2
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyrealsense2'

However, when I use python3 command in my terminal I can import pyrealsense2 just fine- is there something I'm missing to make Pycharm work?

#3838 --> exact issue as this person!

@RealSense-Customer-Engineering @RealSenseCustomerSupport any assistance?

Hi @kat-mcg-lin ,
Did you add

export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib"
to your ~/.bashrc and

$ nano ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

Hi!

I have run the export PYTHONPATH line before and even tried different locations, although I don't know/understand how to add it to the ~/.bashrc, is that a physical file I can open?

Also just tried running the other two lines you mentioned, the nano one returned the error:
bash: nano: command not found

the second line had no return but also no error

Hi @kat-mcg-lin ,
Apparently, you need to install nano (text editor) or use a different text editor (e.g. vim, kate, gedit, etc)
I suggest you read about bashrc before you edit it.

Sounds good!
