ValueError: The python kernel does not appear to be a conda environment.  Please use ``%pip install`` instead.

I think the problem is not the installation of geomdl but something related to the conda environment or else (maybe you could try creating a conda environment before installing geomdl?)

Would you ask this question on Spyder or conda forums? They might be able to give you a better answer. I have no experience with Spyder.

Well, this answer of the question is the dilemma of the software developers. It is like the big fight betwen vi and emacs users :) Although there is no correct answer, during years, I've seen people using jupyter, vscode, pycharm, sublime, visual studio, vim or a combination of them.

I believe it is a personal experiment to figure out which one is the best for you: I'd say start with jupyter, then vscode and try others. 

Geomdl should be Jupyter-ready but I haven't tested it on jupyter notebooks for a while.
