Ctrl+Alt+S the Settings/Preferences icon

Define third-party standalone applications (code generators and analyzers, pre- and post- processors, database utilities, etc.) as external tools to be able to run them from PyCharm.

You can pass contextual information (like the currently selected file, or your project source path) to the external tools, view the tool output, and more.

The tools defined on this page appear as commands in the Tools menu and in various context menus. They can also be assigned keyboard shortcuts (see the Configuring Keyboards and Mouse Shortcuts section).
