MacPorts Install

[Nate O]

I installed Spyder (allegedly) via MacPorts. MacPorts says that it's
installed and active (along with its dependents). So where do I find
it? I tried searching for 'spyder' and 'py-spyder' using Finder, but
that only turns up files and folders that don't seem like programs.
What do I do to fix this?

The start script is installed at /opt/local/bin/spyder

Macports should have added this directory to your PATH so that you
can
start it by the command spyder in the terminal.

There is no link in /Applications to spyder done automatically. See
this discussion on how to make one:

Try opening a terminal and typing 'spyder' at the prompt.

In case people are still having issues on this, py27-spyder installs a 'spyder' executable (actually a symlink to a python script) in $(prefix)/bin (typically /opt/local/bin/spyder). It also installs spyder-2.7 link. So they don't have a conflict, py26-spyder only installs the spyder-2.6 link.

Short answer: 

1) Make sure PATH contains /opt/local/bin (or wherever you have put MacPorts. You "really should use" /opt/local (the default) so you can take advantage of pre-compiled packages from MacPorts.)

2) Use 'spyder' or 'spyder-2.7' for py27-spyder

3) Use 'spyder-2.6' for py26-spyder

Thanks,
