PyCharm is a cross-platform IDE that provides consistent experience on the Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.
PyCharm is available in three editions: Professional, Community, and Edu. The Community and Edu editions are open-source projects and they are free, but they have less features. PyCharm Edu provides courses and helps you learn programming with Python. The Professional edition is commercial, and provides an outstanding set of tools and features. For details, see the editions comparison matrix.

cd <new archive folder>/pycharm-*/bin
For example,
cd /opt/pycharm-*/bin
Run pycharm.sh from the bin subdirectory.

sh pycharm.sh

App launchers shown in GNOME Activities are located either in
/usr/share/applications/
or
~/.local/share/applications/
as .desktop
files.
cd /usr/share/applications
ls -al | grep pycharm.*
rm -rf /yourpycharm.Desktop
You can hide an individual app launcher from Activities by adding an extra NoDisplay=true
line to the corresponding .desktop
file.
It is generally not advisable to edit the .desktop
file located in /usr/share/applications/
. Instead copy the file to ~/.local/share/applications/
first and make the change to the copied file.
