I recently added PyCharm to my Windows 11 machine.
I have dabbled in Python before, and have installed 3.12

Now, I am creating a proof of concept Python script to talk to a bot on my Discord test server. I need to download the Discord library. I have tried downloading it using the pip command from the standard Win 11 command prompt that is independent of PyCharm, and also from both the Console and Terminal inside PyCharm.

The venv that PyCharm has set up for my project does not recognize nor see that Discord library. The

import discord

line of text gives me the error of

“no module named discord”

It is not case sensitive. I really do not understand exactly what a venv is in PyCharm, and where the files for this library (and I am sure there will need to be other libraries in the future) need to reside inside the Win 11 file structure for this PyCharm project to recognize them.
