You can either set this path to the system-wide installation of your preferred Python version, or (more commonly) to a project-level virtualenv (see ["Python Virtual Environments"](/virtualenv)).
As shown in the following figure, PyCharm will let you navigate graphically the directories of the server and select your preferred Python path. For virtualenvs, the path that must be used is `<virtualenv-root>/bin/python`.
