Template does not exist error

I have been working along side the course but building the project in Pycharm. I ran into this error, and not sure how to go about resolving it. Any clues?

TemplateDoesNotExist at / home.html Request Method: GET Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/ Django Version: 1.10.2 Exception Type: TemplateDoesNotExist Exception Value:
home.html Exception Location: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/template/loader.py in get_template, line 25 Python Executable: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin/python3 Python Version: 3.5.2 Python Path:

Hi Shana

Did you add your templates folder in the settings.py file

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['templates'], # this line
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]
