Pycharm is unable to access the documentation of numpy, and all other installed libraries. The runs correctly, but no inline documentation with a description of the function is provided when highlighting and pressing ctrl + q. I use a miniconda environment in which I used the console to conda install
the libraries used.

import numpy as np
x = [0.0,0.5,0.7]
y = np.sin(x)
print(y)
Screenshot of the inline documentation for numpy, the link to the documentation 404s
The link goes to a 404 webpage: https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.sin.htm.
To me that seems a likely cause of the lack of a description.
Same problems persist with other libraries, like matplotlib.

Here the link leads does reach a webpage with (deprecated) documentation, but the common english description of the function does not appear in the documentation shown in pycharm https://matplotlib.org/2.0.2/api/pyplot_api.html .
Am I missing something obvious? Inline documentation seems to be a pretty basic function of an IDE, even if I were to somehow replace the link for the numpy library, surely there is a better way to get documentation without having to setup every library by hand?
I’ve tried switching interpreters, but got the same problems. I have invalidated the cache and restarted pycharm. I have also tried changing the docstring format to Numpy. I’ve gone through a post asking a similar question 4 years ago. However, the solution of changing the adress pycharm tries to retrieve the documenation from has also not worked (maybe the link to that library was no longer valid?)
