Install plugins from the command line
Install plugins by plugin ID from the JetBrains Marketplace or a custom plugin repository.
You can find the executable for running PyCharm in the installation directory under bin. To use this executable as the command-line launcher, add it to your system PATH as described in Command-line interface.
