title: Setting up existing Python3.6 environment/packages in Pycharm
body: <p>I have installed <code>pycharm community 2019.2.4</code> version and <code>python 3.6</code> independently. 
  My existing python has all the required packages installed.</p>
  
  <p>Now whenever I open <code>new project</code>in Pycharm, every-time it creates a <code>new virtual environment</code> with no packages pre-installed. So every time I have to install packages.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried to change interpreter with existing python location, but it didn't worked. Here are the steps I followed:</p>
  
  <p>My <code>python3.6</code> location: <code>C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>      1. Open Pycharm -&gt; Go to configure -&gt; Settings
        2. Project Interpreter -&gt; Add -&gt; 
        3. In the Add section I add the new location as `C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36`
  
  
        4. Then I click on New-Project and then ok.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I see new virtual environment created.</p>
  
  <p>If someone can help me with some documents of steps that would be very helpful. I followed some previous links in stackoverflow but may be I am missing something. </p>
