Creating a Django Project
Answered
This is my first time using PyCharm and I wanted to know how I can create a Django app with PyCharm. All of the instructions I've found online will say to click on "Django" from the left menu after selecting "Create New Project" with this screenshot:
However, I get to this page when I click on "Create New Project" with no option for me to select Django:
On my Windows desktop, the Django option shows up but not on my Mac. I checked PyCharm to make sure it was up to date. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Please try starting PyCharm with default settings by renaming/removing configuration and plugins folders https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.html
If the issue remains, re-install from https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/
Has it helped?
I removed all of the files that were in the configuration and plugins folder and just redownloaded using the link, but I still have the same issues. On the website it does state "This feature is only supported in the Professional edition" so I was wondering if I can't create a django project with the community version, but I'm able to on my windows desktop for some reason even though I'm pretty sure it's also the community version.
I think my windows desktop might be running an older version of PyCharm so that might be why I am able to create new projects with the Django framework. Because in the JetBrains website, it states that only the professional versions support frameworks. If I clone a repo that uses the Django framework and work on that on PyCharm, what are the limitations that I might face? Thank you
Oh, I see. Django is not supported in Community edition indeed.

In case you are gonna use Community edition, you won't have proper code completion, inspections, and a couple more features.
