Install RPi module on Pycharm

Question

I've been using IDLE with my raspberry for a while, it's nice at the beginning, but Pycharm provides lots more of features and I'm used to them since I've been also using Android Studio.

The problem is I couldn't figure out how to install the RPi module to control the pins of my Raspberry. Does anyone know how to do this?

In case it matters, it's python3 on a raspberry 2B.

Solution

As far as I know, there is no way of installing it on your desktop but PyCharm has a remote programming feature that allows you to use the PyCharm interface through an ssh connection to your Raspberry Pi. See this tutorial from Jetbrains.
