How do you add this to PyCharm Community? #230

I can't believe I am the only person to ever ask this.

I am by no means an amateur when it comes to Computers or Programming, but I've spent 2 days trying to figure out how to access the Python course after adding the Jetbrains Academy extension into PyCharm Community.

The Learn Tab only shows the IDE course, and if there's any way to change that to the Python course, I fail to see it.

I thought it would all fall into place when I found this Repo, but ok, I have a course.json file now. Actually. where did I even get that?. I could swear it was from here. :S but either way, I am as equally perplexed by the collection of Yaml's in this repo.

I've read through every piece of documentation I could find, and came up blank. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. help me out. please! :)

Edit: I just discovered that you can do the course on the Hyperskill website. Is that what it is? If so, then how does this Repo fit into it? And why the JBA extension?

Suddenly, I noticed the "Get" link on the JB Marketplace had suddenly turned into "Open in PyCharm", and clicking that actually installed the course! I don't know why it was giving me a Zip with a json file in it before. :S

I am confused why it is a standalone project and not added to the Learn tab. Is the Academy plugin even required?
