Pycharm 'No module named rospy'

Question

Pycharm IDE doesn't seem to recognize ROS modules (It underlines them and doesn't autocomplete), even though when I run the script, the interpreter does recognize them. I should add that I am opening pycharm from a linux terminal, after I have sourced the ROS environment (/opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash) and the local catkin worksapce. How can I solve the problem?
