Solution 1:

PyCharm is not available from the official Ubuntu repositories, you must retrieve it from a third party PPA. Therefore, before asking apt-get to install the package, you must first make it aware of the correct PPA. Run the following in a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mystic-mirage/pycharm
sudo apt-get update

Then you can install PyCharm:

sudo apt-get install pycharm

Solution 2:

Note: I consider most of this answer's content to be outdated. Please see my other answer here for a more up to date collection of ways to install PyCharm.

The original answer was:

PyCharm is not in the official repositories.

You have multiple options to install it though:

• Enable the GetDeb repository and install PyCharm from there:

  Run these three commands to set up the GetDeb repository as a software source for your system:

  echo 'deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu wily-getdeb apps' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list
  wget -q -O- http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
  sudo apt-get update
  

  Then you can install PyCharm Community Edition (version 5.0.1 at the date of writing):

  sudo apt-get install pycharm
  

  You will automatically receive package updates through GetDeb, no need to update PyCharm manually or with its own updater.

• Enable a PPA and install PyCharm from there:

  Please see this answer of Luís de Sousa for a PPA option.

  You will also receive automatic package updates through the PPA, as soon as its owner uploads a new version (which is not as reliable and fast as GetDeb usually...)

• Download the compressed archive from the official JetBrains site:

  On the official homepage of JetBrains, the developing company of PyCharm, there is a download section offering both the free Community Edition and a 30-day-trial-version of the Professional Edition, both for Windows, OS X and Linux.

  Direct download link for the latest PyCharm version (free Community Edition) for Linux.

  The official installation instructions for Linux are those:

  • Copy the pycharm-*.tar.gz to an empty directory (make sure you have rw permissions for that directory)

  • Unpack the pycharm-*.tar.gz using the following command:

    tar xfz pycharm-*.tar.gz
    

  • Remove the pycharm-*.tar.gz to save disk space (optional)

  • Run pycharm.sh from the bin subdirectory

  NOTE: PyCharm on Linux doesn't need special installation or running any installation script. It runs out of the pycharm-*.tar.gz

  You don't get any automatic package updates this way, but will rely in PyCharms internal update mechanism.

My personal favourite is GetDeb, but you may chose which one you prefer.
