cannot startup/run pycharm IDE on yosemite

clicked the download button at

https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/#section=mac

for the community version of pycharm. What downloaded is named pycharm-community-2019.3.2.dmg


I am running OSX Yosemite 10.10.5. The download fully completed twice. Was de-compressed by the default system utility. Then prompted to drag a pycharm icon to an applications folder icon. After completed, double-click on the application. System security asks if I want to open it and I click open. Then, nothing happens. I rebooted and repeated. Unlocked downloads security and repeated. Same problem.


Any help is greatly appreciated!

That's because it is not designed for Yosemite.

Read the System Requirements. It requires El Capitan.

All Macs that can run Yosemite can run El Capitan.

Try updating to El Capitan following these directions:
