Pytube doesn't run properly on PyCharm

Question

from pytube import YouTube

url = input()
myvideo = YouTube(url)

print("***************Video Title****************")
# get video title
print(myvideo.title)

# set stream resolution
myvideo = myvideo.streams.get_highest_resolution()

print("Download Location")

myvideo.download()

Here's some simple code to download a video using Pytube. It works perfectly when I am using python from the terminal but just breaks when I run it on Pycharm.

The errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Welcome to Stack Overflow. I have fixed your formatting (error tracebacks should be formatted like code) and removed some [noise](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/343721/kind-reminder-to-remove-noise) from your question - we don't care about your level of experience, and there isn't yet a reason to suspect that your platform matters here (this isn't tech support, so questions where that matters are less likely to be on topic). — Karl Knechtel, Oct 04 '21 at 22:34
How about [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED with Python3](https://stackoverflow.com/q/35569042/3890632) — khelwood, Oct 04 '21 at 22:36
That said, we need more from you to have an answerable Stack Overflow question. In particular: what do you mean by "run it on Pytube"? Also, what is your actual *question*? Please see [ask] and https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/284236/ - we cannot just give you "some help with this". You should start by trying to do some [research](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/261592/) - for example, what if you copy and paste the error message at the end into a search engine? — Karl Knechtel, Oct 04 '21 at 22:36
Sounds to me like your terminal Python is not the same version as Pycharm's interpreter (show `python -V`) — OneCricketeer, Oct 04 '21 at 22:39
