PyCharm + conda + pip packages not recognized

Question

I can say I am quite new to the world of Python but not to programming. I have been using PyCharm over the last year and I got Python conda distribution to make my life easier with package management.

Lately, I have been trying to play with a package known PuLP which was not available to download via conda but I installed using pip. I realized that although PyCharm recognizes pulp when running my code, it is not in the available packages and I am not sure that the same version of PuLP is used in and out of PyCharm. Specifically, when I run the pulpTestAll command that looks for installed solvers from my terminal, the recognized solvers are different than those recognized when I run exactly the same script within PyCharm.

Can someone give me a tip on how to fix this?

How do I import modules in pycharm?

You may look here. Maybe you have to specify an interpreter for the Conda environment. To do that when you are choosing an interpreter at the right there is a gear at the right. After you press it, you may add a new interpreter and you can choose Conda Environment.
