Python – pycharm doesn’t see python3.7 interpreter

interpreterpycharmpython

I'm using Pycharm Community 2018.1.4 on Linux Mint 19 Tara Xfce.

It works well with Python 3.5 interpreter.
I installed Python 3.7 to be the default Python interpreter on the system.

python -V command returns Python 3.7.0b3
I would like to use Python 3.7 in Pycharm.

I've tried :

which python

/usr/bin/python

which python3.7

/usr/local/bin/python3.7

When I go to File > Settings > Project and Interpreter > Add and there is no /usr/local folder and there is no python3.7 in /usr/bin

I can cd to /usr/local/bin folder in the terminal, but Pycharm just can't.
I restarted, uninstalled/reinstalled Pycharm, refreshed its inner browser, restarted my pc. Nothing changed.

What am I missing?

You will need to add the interpreter to the list of available interpreters.

Use which python to find out the path of the interpreter, then in the Settings > Project Interpreter > Add > System Interpreter window hit the "..." button and add that interpreter. (The screenshot below is from macOS, but it should be the same on Linux.)
