What I did

Describe the steps you took, probably including your Python code, like this:

on ubuntu, install latest pycharm community and pluin from market place. But failed when starting live coding with messages below. Wonder what version/p[latform that the pluin has been tested to be workin ? 

What happened

Live coding plugin error: Could not find platform independent libraries Could not find platform dependent libraries Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to [:] Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

Current thread 0x00007f1b60416740 (most recent call first):

print('42') 

What I wanted to happen

Describe what you wanted, probably including changes to the live coding display, like this:

print('What do you get when you multiply six by nine?') 

My environment

Describe the versions of everything you were using:

• Editor (PyCharm, Emacs, or SublimeText)
• Live Coding plugin
• Operating system
• Python

Thanks for the bug report. Can you please fill in the version numbers in the My Environment section?

The error message looks like there might be something wrong with your Python. Does your script work when you run it normally in PyCharm, not in live-coding mode?

To answer your question, I'm currently running PyCharm 2021.2.2 (Professional Edition) on Ubuntu 20.04 with Python 3.9.7 and Live Coding 4.4.0. When you tell me what you're using, I'll do my best to reproduce it.
