Pycharm conda env not showing packages installed via pip

Running Pycharm, using Anaconda, with a conda env running Python 2.7 on OS X.

In terminal, running conda list shows package list as being installed... but it doesn't show up in the list of packages under 'Preferences > Project Interpreter', and PyCharm isn't able to autocomplete anything involving packages.

But when I run the same script from the command line, it works just fine.

Any ideas on why the same conda env in PyCharm can't see the packages installed by pip?

In terminal pip list:

in terminal pip list

In pycharm package list:

in pycharm package list

In PyCharm 2017.1:

  • Click on the button next to the Project Interpreter name (a gear icon) and choose Add Local
  • Choose the path to your conda env (probably ~/anaconda/envs/your-env-name/bin/python)

You should see the table with a list of packages in the Preferences window below the Project Interpreter name.
