Run PyCharm with more memory limit


I have problems running PyCharm with bigger memory size on Linux Mint Sylvia 18.3. I have a script that requires a lot of memory and pycharm does only allow to edit this via config file.

Example:

Problem is that I have PyCharm installed via snap, and snap installations are monted as RO file systems and I can not edit that config. Is there any easy way around this?

Also tried this remounting but does not seem to work for me:

Solution

  • For anyone coming across this in 2023, PyCharm now allows to configure the Memory Heap using the UI: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/increasing-memory-heap.html
