How to setup python interpreter in pycharm

1. Build mi_companion_bundle and install. Run bundle_packaging.py to build the mi_companion_bundle. Run dev_install_plugin.py to install the plugin.
2. Open QGIS and open the Python console. Run

import sys
sys.executable
sys.path

3. Create a new virtual environment interpreter in Pycharm using the path output from sys.executable as your base interpreter. If you're on MacOS you might get the path to the QGIS executable instead, then insert the path to your system interpreter as your base interpreter.
4. Click the interpreter paths button when highlighting your newly create interpreter.
5. Add all the different paths in the output from sys.path to your interpreter. There can be duplicates in the output, but you only have to add the once.
6. Now you should be able to run the code and tests!
