'How to install Python 3.8 for use in PyCharm 2021.3? [duplicate]

I am going to take the TensorFlow Developer Certificate exam. The exam requires

  1. PyCharm 2021.3
  2. Python 3.8

On my laptop, I usually use python via Spyder on Anaconda

I downloaded PyCharm 2021.3, but I can't set up a new proj with Base Interpreter Python 3.8. It states Python executable is not found.

When I try to download Python 3.8 from https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0569/ the executable files are not found there.

So how do I install Python 3.8 for use with PyCharm 2021.3?

You can see the version of your interpreter from the bottom right corner, otherwise you will see the message to No interpreter, you can click on the Python version and follow these steps:

Click your version or/No interpreter>>Add Interpreter>>System Interpreter>>Click on ..>>your interpreter path.

you can download python 3.8 from here : https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-380/

Just introduce the path to it

Its work for me at pycharm version 2021.1
