How can I increase the memory heap in pycharm
I am using pycharm and its memory shown at bottom right corner is 750M. I could not find any setting where I can increase that. Where do I increase that memory. I am using version 3.4.
I searched a lot but could not find from Google as well
Under the /bin
directory of your pycharm installation, there is a file pycharm.vmoptions
. You can use this to customize the options that are passed to the JVM. The maximum heap size should be given by
-Xmx750m
There is a list of memory options in this blog post
- Help->Find Action->(type "VM Options")->(Click)"Edit Custom VM Options"
- Pycharm (2016.2) will open the appropriate vmoptions file (pycharm.vmoptions or pycharm64.options) in the editor before you.
- Change
-Xmx750m
to-Xmx1024m
, or whatever size you want. Save it. - Restart Pycharm (File->Exit etc.)
