Need help with changing Python interpreter.
Hi,
I'm new to PyCharm and I'm using the latest version.
I installed Python 3.6 globally and navigated to the project interpreter page.
I selected Python 3.6 and after clicking on Apply I was presented with a page asking me to install packages.
Some are shown alongside the latest version.
What happens if I click Apply?
Will the global packages be updated?
Also at the bottom of the page I get:
python packaging tools not found. Install packaging tools.
I don't understand what the above line means.
I thought that just selecting the interpreter would be enough.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Ubuntu 16.04.
PyCharm 2018.1.4

Hi there,
> What happens if I click Apply?
That won't update packages, it'll save the added interpreter and close the settings dialog.
> python packaging tools not found. Install packaging tools.
That means that pip will be installed.
