Adding ipython as an interpreter in Pycharm Ubuntu

Question

How does one add ipython as an interpreter in pycharm on ubuntu, since it does not seem to have any directories, where its installed. How can one add it as an interpreter on ubuntu. I've tried looking for it using the following:

nafiul@nafiul-Lenovo-B480 ~
  % whereis ipython                                                                                                                               !881
ipython: /usr/bin/ipython2.7 /usr/bin/ipython /usr/bin/X11/ipython2.7 /usr/bin/X11/ipython /usr/share/ipython /usr/share/man/man1/ipython.1.gz

Now, I've looked at this, and I've failed to find the the proper ipython directory. All the links above show ipython binaries, and not the actual ipython interpreter directory itself.

Any help regarding this would be very helpful.

ipython is not an interpreter! It uses the installed python and provides a better interactive session of that interpreter! — Bakuriu

@Bakuriu I see, however, on windows, it behaves like an interpreter. Is there any way to get the ipython console in pycharm? — Nafiul Islam

The windows package probably contains its own python interpreter bundled but ipython is just an interface to a cpython interpreter. Regarding pycharm, did you read: this section of the documentation? — Bakuriu

FIgured it out. There's no need to add ipython separately. If you install ipython as a package in the interpreter of your chosing, ipython will automatically become the default interpreter of the console.
