How To Download Spyder Using Conda
Cherise Sibeto
Here is a quick way to do it in 2021 using the Anaconda Navigator. This is the most reliable way to do it, unless you want to create environments programmatically which I don't think is the case for most users:
If you find a bug, please help us posting it in the Anaconda Issues bug-tracker too! If you run into trouble creating the environment or if the environment was not correctly created you can double check what got installed: Clicking the "Environments" opens a management window showing installed packages. Search and select Spyder-related packages and then click on "Apply" to install them.
UPDATE. I have tested it with Ubuntu 18.04. Now you have to install spyder additionally for the new environment with this command (after the activation of the environment with the command above):
For a normal opening, use "Anaconda Prompt" > activate myenv > spyder (then the "Anaconda Prompt" must stay open, you cannot use it for other commands, and a force-close will shut down Spyder). This is of course faster than the long load of "Anaconda Navigator" > switch environment > launch Spyder (@adelriosantiago's answer).
The above answers are correct but I calling spyder within my virtualenv would still use my PATH to look up the version of spyder in my default anaconda env. I found this answer which gave the following workaround:
Starting with Spyder 3.3.1, you can install the modularspyder-kernels package into any Python environment (condaenvironment, virtualenv/venv, system Python, WinPython, etc) inwhich you wish to work, and then change the Python interpreter used bySpyder on its IPython consoles to point to the Python executable ofthat environment.
8- Start a new IPython console. All packages installed in your myenv environment should be available there. If conda is used, thename of the current environment and its Python version should bedisplayed in Spyder's status bar, and hovering over it should displaythe path of the selected interpreter.
[look up the file source location] and copy that to your desktop, e.g. from C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Anaconda3 (64-bit), where the spyder links for any of my environments can be found.
I follow one of the advice above and indeed it works. In summary while you download Anaconda on Ubuntu using the advice given above can help you to 'create' environments. The default when you download Spyder in my case is: (base) smith@ubuntu $. After you create the environment, i.e. fenics and activate it with $ conda activate fenics the prompt change to (fenics) smith@ubuntu $. Then you launch Spyder from this prompt, i.e $ spyder and your system open the Spyder IDE, and you can write fenics code on it. Remember every time you open a terminal your system open the default prompt. You have to activate your environment where your package is and the prompt change to it i.e. (fenics).
I have recently updated ArcPro to ArcPro 3.1.0 but now I am having issues re-installing Spyder. I have made a "clean" ArcPro uninstall ( -uninstall-of-arcgis-pro/) and tried to install Spyder again (using "conda install spyder --no-pin --dry-run" first, as Dan Patterson suggested, -pro-questions/arcgis-pro-2-9-2-unable-to-install-spyder/td-p/11...) but still having troubles. Any idea on what is going on?
There are issues with esri's supported versions of ipython/jupyter_client. You are missing ipython from initial appearances, so esri has an older version of spyder on the esri channel so if you want 5.1.5 then drop the --no-pin and try it in your clone.
thanks for the help. In the meantime I followed another advice of yours in other posts and installed spyder in the base environment. It worked, but I cannot import arcpy... I will try with 5.1.5 in a clone.
I agree, it is crazy for a major product to have a broken debugger for 4 or 5 months, but I was looking for an easy fix. I do see various discussions, but thought I would get a more direct answer on the company board. My system is a Windows 10 and I am hoping there are some other parameters I can put in the conda command line to do the install.
Want to join the community of scientists, engineers and analysts all around the world using Spyder?Click the button below to download the suggested installer for your platform.We offer standalone installers on Windows and macOS, and as our Linux installer is are still experimental, we currently recommend the cross-platform Anaconda distribution for that operating system, which includes Spyder and many other useful packages for scientific Python.You can also try out Spyder right in your web browser by launching it on Binder.
Since Python is already installed somewhere in my computer, do I just have to make it accessible to the Windows Command Prompt? Or is the Python detected by Anaconda only available in Anaconda and I have to do a separate install of Python as per this Codecademy article?
I saw this article on how to setup virtual environments for Spyder/Anaconda. I have to use a different process to setup virtual environments for Spyder and for Windows Command Prompt or Anaconda Prompt?
Unfortunately, issues can arise when conda and pip are used together to create an environment, especially when the tools are used back-to-back multiple times, establishing a state that can be hard to reproduce. Most of these issues stem from that...
The only difference between it and Command Prompt for your purposes is that you will want to install your Python packages using conda install rather than pip install wherever you can, since you are doing it inside of a conda environment (base). See the links @tgrtim included for more details on this.
which seemed to work. Then I tried pip installing pyqt5 again and it worked with an error which I can't remember. The problems started after I restarted Anaconda and spyder still says it is not updated.
Thank you very much. Actually I had already tried that solution without success, and I concluded that there was someting corrupted in my environment. So I uninstalled and reinstalled Anaconda and repeated the procedure above. Now everything works
The dependency stack is large and may take a long time (several tens ofminutes) to resolve on some systems via the default conda solver. Wetherefore highly recommend using the new libmambasolver instead, which is much faster. To permanently change to this solver,you can set CONDA_SOLVER=libmamba in your environment or runconda config --set solver libmamba. Below we just use --solver in each command.
Spyder is a free and open-source IDE developed by and for scientists whouse Python. It is included by default in the base environment when youinstall Anaconda, and can be started from a terminal with the commandspyder (or on Windows or macOS, launched from the Anaconda Navigator GUI).It can also be installed with dedicated installers.To avoid dependency conflicts with Spyder, you should install mne in aseparate environment, as explained in previous sections. Then, instructSpyder to use the mne environment as its default interpreter by openingSpyder and navigating toTools > Preferences > Python Interpreter > Use the following interpreter.There, paste the output of the following terminal commands:
If the Spyder console can not start because spyder-kernels is missing,install the required version in the mne environment with the followingcommands in the terminal, where you replace ... with the exact version ofspyder-kernels that Spyder tells you it requires.
Also as a followup - if you really want to stay consistent with conda - you can just install spyder into your conda environment (then you will not need spyder-kernels). This uses extra storage and is probably not a good strategy - but it will work.
I have an existing Conda environment with Python 3.8.16, and I have tried to install Spyder with:conda install spyder as well as with conda install -c conda-forge spyder, (not simultaneously) which installs Spyder 5.4.3.
N.B. Running Spyder from Anaconda navigator in base environment works fine! It also works fine in the problematic environment but on my laptop with Ubuntu 20.04.6, with the same Spyder version but conda 23.9.0.
I am trying to use Biopython using Spyder as IDE. I have installed Biopython in Linux Mint by using conda and also I have installed using pip. Everything seems okay, I tried in the terminal and in Spyder and it works. However, when I try to use the next order:
If you would like to use spyder with conda env, then this env must be avalible to Spyder. In Pycharm (which I use) there is special setting for executable PATH independent on environment variables, so maybe it might be similar in Spyder.
The /home/andrea/anaconda3/bin/python means that you are using conda python. And you should manage your python packages by conda not by pip. Now I think that You've installed Biopython with pip to conda env - this is not good idea (link attached at the end on combining conda and pip).
Since importing SeqIO gives you the error message I think that you either don't have biopython installed in your conda env (you didn't posted results from conda list) or that the installation is broken.
Today, I have updated CUDA from 11.8 to 12.1 and updated the cuDNN files from 11.x to 12.x and had the same issue with the latest stable build (1.13.1). Could fix it too with above mentioned solution using conda install -c anaconda cudatoolkit.
By the nature of the information provided, the content is likely to becomepartially outdated over time. For reference: this mini-introduction was writtenin September 2016, where Anaconda 4.1 was available, and Python 3.5 was thedefault Python provided, and last revised in December 2022, where conda wasversion 22.9.0, and Python 3.9.13 is the default interpreter.
Anaconda is aPython distribution. Python distributions provide the Pythoninterpreter, together with a list of Python packages and sometimesother related tools, such as editors. To be more precise, Anaconda is notlimited to packaging Python packages, but initially emerged to caterfor Python-based applications and packages.
