Tips and limits

• The plugin may not be available in PyCharm EAP (Early Access Program) builds. If you cannot find it in the Marketplace tab, install it from a file or use a stable PyCharm release.
• If something looks wrong after installing, check that your PyCharm version meets the prerequisites. Then choose File > Invalidate Caches, select the checkboxes in the dialog and choose Invalidate and Restart. PyCharm clears its caches and restarts.
• Check the plugin page for the PyCharm versions it supports.
