I've installed it and also jPortable but it still says it needs a Java environment to run. I've been hoping for a portable version of pyCharm for a long time--it's an excellent IDE. I'm looking forward to seeing this work once it is all set up.
I tried it with the PortableApps Launcher (which I don't use) and it works. Very cool.
Update base app
The best IDE and now on Portable - cool
Installed parallel to existing PyCharm 2017.3.1 CE and imported settings.jar - everything works nice.
Compared the About info:
PyCharm 2017.3.1 (Community Edition)
Build #PC-173.3942.36, built on December 13, 2017
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1024-b8 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o

Is this "2017.3 Dev Test 1" a 32-bit version or just using/pointing 32-bit Java? (my JAVA_HOME=C:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java64 and Path=...C:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java64\bin; )
Thanks,
Update base app
Also Java versions are now correctly 64-bit (regarding to my previous comment, probably due to some old config on my own environment was pointing incorrectly to 32-bit = later did Java cleanup on the PC).
Thanks!

Hi,
I have portable installation of WinPython (Namely no system wide registered System Variable for Python).
Is there a way to connect the two?
Namely on launch of PyCharm it will use the WinPython environment?
I will add this feature in the next release.
Namely I will be able to give it the path to WinPython and it will work?
Or you create a PAF for WinPython with PyCharm launcher?
Man you're spoiling us!
I found two config places that are related to this:
a) idea.config.path => options => file "jdk.table.xml" => "homePath"
b) PyCharmPortable.ini
[Environment]
JAVA_HOME=%PAL:AppDir%\PyCharm\jbr
PYTHON=%PAL:AppDir%\WinPython\python-3.9.4.amd64\python.exe
PYTHON_PATH=%PAL:AppDir%\WinPython\python-3.9.4.amd64;%PAL:AppDir%\WinPython\python-3.9.4.amd64\Scripts;%PAL:AppDir%\WinPython\python-3.9.4\Lib
VEUSZ=%PAL:AppDir%\Veusz
CPLEX=%PAL:AppDir%\cplex\bin\x64_win64
WINGLPK=%PAL:AppDir%\WinGlpk\w64
GUROBI=%PAL:AppDir%\gurobi\win64
PATH=%PYTHON_PATH%;%VEUSZ%;%CPLEX%;%WINGLPK%;%GUROBI%;%PATH%
=> PyCharm terminal will know those additional applications

How can I make a non-admin 'installation'?
I have no admin permissions where I am, that's why I decided to use the portable version.
Can you help me?
Thanks.

I am able to start PyCharmProtable.exe on the computer where I used the installer. On another computer I get an error message that a Java Runtime Envirionment is required. How can I configure the path of the runtime envirionment?
For EclipsePortable I can use EclipsePortable.ini with
[EclipsePortable]
JavaPath=App/jdk/bin/java.exe
I tried to create a similar PyCharmPortable.ini file but that did not work.
I've a fresh external HDD and installed jPortable, PyCharmPortable and PythonPortable.
When firing up PyCharm it promts that it cannot find a Java runtime and recommends jPortable to be installed. How can I connect these two?
Your folder structure should look like this:
Root folder/
├── CommonFiles/
│ ├── Java
│ └── Python
└── PyCharmPortable/
I got mine OpenJDK JRE Portable 64-bit working: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/OpenJDKJRE64
First try on Command Prompt: java --version
Check these two according your OpenJDK java.exe location (JAVA_HOME not same directory but the parent one):
- set environment variable for JAVA_HOME e.g. JAVA_HOME=C:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\OpenJDKJRE64
- add to Path environment variable e.g. %JAVA_HOME%\bin
and reboot.
Then try again on Command Prompt: java --version
As OpenJDK is not yet recognized by the launcher you can just rename the OpenJDK folder to JDK and will get picked up
Update base app
Update base app
Install:
- PyCharmPortable_2019.3_Dev_Test_1_English.paf
- OpenJDKJRE_12.0.2_Build_10.paf (in CommonFiles)
- PythonPortable_3.6.8_Dev_Test_1.paf (in CommonFiles)
But it don't work. PyCharm start and do nothing without errors.
What's wrong?
P.S. I don't have admin permissions.
PyCharm needs Windows 7 or later, and a 64-bit OS.
The question is removed.
I hope to see it with active develop.
I manage to work with Winpython 3.7 I download from github. (It has it portable pip and I install tensorflow).
Thank you!

please, what does mean update base app? what should I do to update the portable version? thanks

Unfortunately Java11 is required. I was not able to get it started with Java 11 because always JRE8 is used.
changing PATH did not help also not setting JAVA_HOME
Installing OpenJDK64 (https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/OpenJDK64) into CommonFiles/Java did the trick for me.
It says that it needs Java 11 or later, I installed all the jportable apps and it still doesn't run.
If you could make it work you'd make me a lot happier than you can imagine.
jPortable uses Java 8. Moreover, I think what you need is jdkPortable since it also contains (J)ava (D)evelopment (K)it. But since jdkPortable supplied here also uses Java 8, you can download newer Java version here: https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html (choose the zip version for portability).
I assume you already know the basic of PortableApps.com Launcher, it will look for Java in "CommonFiles\Java" folder on the parent directory pyCharm (depends on the method mwayne uses, it may also look for other directories). Hope this helps!
EDIT: Ah, someone had the same problem as you. Apparently OpenJDK supplied here also contain Java 14: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/OpenJDK64
No extra java required if PyCharm\jbr is used:

I have installed the jportable in the "CommonFiles" but without any success. Please consoder that I do not have admin rights. The installation of the portable apps is in an external HDD.
Please, could you help me? Thanks

Hi,
Do you prefer PyCharm over VS Code?
Could you share why?
Hey, for the question you asked, PyCharm is an IDE which implements all the tools required to debug, lint, and do fancy stuff with your Python code. On the flip side, VS Code is just a code editor in which you can edit code for different languages and if you want full support for a language, you would have to install extensions for them.

Hello, I love your work on this app. I recently downloaded the latest release as of today (2021.1.1 Dev Test 1 (2021-05-04)) and I would like to point out that everything works fine except that the portability is lost. I'm saying that because I have noticed that PyCharm creates the "JetBrains" directory in %APPDATA% which stores the configuration files generated on the first launch of this Portable app.
Cheers!
P.S Looking forward to fixes and future releases!

I cant get this to run at all. i downloaded PyCharmPortable_2021.2_Dev_Test_1_English.paf.exe and I have installed jPortable and then pycharm but when I run pycharm nothing happens. I have tried from the cmd but still nothing. I can run pycharm from D:\PortableApps\PyCharmPortable\App\PyCharm\bin\pycharm64.exe. Does anyone have any suggestions to getting this to run?
I also tried the older version PyCharmPortable_2021.1.1_Dev_Test_1_English.paf.exe but that throws a java error that I see other people mention.

@mwayne, this latest build is nothing but broke. Even "tweaking" the ini doesn't resolve. Normal users shouldn't have to do that to at least run the portable app anyway. Some of us power users can handle a curve ball but this one's too far out of the zone. Surely all these posts are acknowledgment of that. Always test builds on a virgin machine with no previous install of full or portable application to test. The process makes final bug testing easy-peasy. Please resolve as there's no way to get older pulls from Git either. Regards.
The app after launch does not want to open and does not appear in the task manager
Could you please update for version of this year (2022)?
The class path in PyCharmPortable.ini seems to need some adaption. If I use
-cp "%PAL:AppDir%\PyCharm\lib\*"
PyCharm opens but I cannot open the File=>Settings menu.

I have installed
* jPortable as link at the top of this page (note that the version linked is 32-bit)
* OpenJDK64 as recommended above
* Embedded Python 3.11
All these are installed beneath PortableApps\CommonFiles
PyCharm simply doesn't start. There is a spinning wheel for a couple fo seconds then nothing. No log files that I can see either.
Can anybody help?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A bit more info.
I downloaded JBR 11 from https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime/tree/jbr11
I unzipped this into PortableApps\PyCharmPortable\App\PyCharm\jbr
PyCharm Portable still did not start.
So I opened a Windows Sandbox (because I don't want to write to %APPDATA%) and ran PortableApps\PyCharmPortable\App\PyCharm\bin\pycharm.bat
PyCharm then started in the sandbox. It wrote to several places in %APPDATA% within the sandbox.
PyCharm Portable still doesn't start.

It is not working for me too if I use jbr. Try to rename OpenJDK64 to Java and run it again. Which OS version are you on?
Renaming made no difference. I'm on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.2311.
Thanks for your help.

I cant get it to work with the recent JDK and Jbr versions. I am running an very old build of OpenJDK 15.0.2 that's why I didnt notice it not starting. If that is no problem for you you can try it too. Just remember to rename it to Java too as PyCharm Portable is looking for a "Java" installation in CommonFiles.
You can find them here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/OpenJDK%20Portable/
I installed OpenJDK 15.0.2 64-bit, and PyCharm now works. Many thanks.

Went with jPortable_8_Update_361_online.paf as requested for PyCharm Community Edition Portable 2022.2.4 Dev Test 1 to operate and it did not work. Was able to get it run just fine with the OpenJDK64 after renaming it to just java in the commonfiles folder.
I did try a few other options listed in the discussion but the fix was fairly simple in the end.
Have Fun!

Query: How many of you good folks use PyCharm over VS Code? At this point, I use Code and am adding it to my portable tools. I'm going to have to learn PyCharm. I'm sure that's the fun of it.

Hi. New here, big PyCharm fan.
Thanks for your work.
I installed jPortable and this latest version of PyCharmPortable on a fresh Windows10, complying with the suggested folder structure.
Can't get PyCharm to work. It seems to find java but says it can't create the Java machine.
Any help would be welcome, given that I'm testing a portable distro for my students
Cheers.

I can't get it to work with jPortable too. But OpenJDK JRE works great for me. Just install it to the Java folder.
Oh thx a million !
