pycharm is for python. there are no paths to set.

you have to “install” the python module of your build so your python can use it (`import cv2`). that is independent of pycharm.

if you built with Visual Studio, the `INSTALL` target should have done that. look at the build output for that. it says what files were copied to what locations.
