We are going to need a lot more detail to help you out. For instance, what is the traceback in the console? What is the output of `mne.sys_info()`?

Hello @APPLE and welcome to the forum!

Please always create a new topic for new questions. I have moved your second question to this new topic here.

Best wishes,

The following posting can possibly provide some help:

> Hello, The Python interpreter closes immediately after opening the plot window, because the end of your script is reached. You have two ways to work around this: Ensure execution is halted after plotting by passing block=True, i.e. raw.plot(block=True) Or edit your PyCharm run configuration such that your script is run in interactive mode (which might be something you want when working with data interactively anyway!) by ticking the “Run with Python Console” box. See [Create and edit run/debu…](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/creating-and-editing-run-debug-configurations.html)
