PyCharm Powershell Installation

Introduction

This repository contains a script to install the latest version of PyCharm on a Windows machine using Powershell.

The function in the script uses two parameters:

• $Scope: The scope of the installation. This can be either for the current user (local) or for all users (global). The default value is 'global'.
• $CreateShortcut: A boolean value to indicate whether a shortcut should be created on the desktop. The default value is $true.

Usage

To install PyCharm for all users and create a shortcut on the desktop, run the next script:

function Install-PyCharm-Windows {
    param (
        [Parameter()]
        [ValidateSet('local','global')]
        [string[]]$Scope = 'global',
    
        [parameter()]
        [ValidateSet($true,$false)]
        [string]$CreateShortCut = $true
    )
