Hi Eric,

Thank you for the reply and I appreciate your assistance.

I've been using the internal Python to create a virtual environment in my project’s folder, and I've set the Python interpreter path as outlined in the documentation. The first attached screenshot is my interpreter configuration.

However, my current challenge lies in the debugging section. I've created a new Run/Debug Configuration(third attachment) following the instructions , as shown in the second attached screenshot. Regrettably, when attempting to run the configuration, I encountered an error in the console: "No module named chimerax.core" (refer to the fourth attached screenshot).

I believe that the issue is regarding a module named chimerax.core which I couldn’t find on the project.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Himal,
The person on our team that uses PyCharm and that wrote that documentation is on a trip to NIH this week and may not be able to respond promptly. Reading that page myself, it seems that the Debugging section assumes that you set up a virtual environment as outlined in the preceding "IDEs" section. Did you do that?

I have been thoroughly following the provided documentation, successfully completing the steps related to setting up a ChimeraX development environment, obtaining the code, and compiling ChimeraX. However, I have encountered a challenge in the IDEs, Debugging, and Profiling section, specifically within PyCharm. Following the provided steps, I am instructed to:

Unfortunately, the provided directory structure or module seems to be difficult to find in my current project. However there is a module named core in the following path.
