spyder not found after pip install

[Trevor Robertson]

Hi in windows 10, 64bit: I first installed python 3.6.0 (without e.g. Anaconda). I used "pip install spyder" via cmd.exe i.e. the "hard way". Everything worked and with subsequent checks cmd says "requirement already satisfied". But spyder is not on the start menu and cmd > type "spyder" says "Windows cannot find spyder". I previously had Anaconda but uninstalled it. How can I get spyder to work / show? Python is indeed working with an alternative editor. Thanks

Hi,

You have to start Spyder from the command line (cmd.exe). Pip installation doesn't create menu nor desktop shortcuts.


Cheers,
Carlos

Thank you...

It seems what I did wrong was to type spyder instead of spyder3.

In the end I simply created a desktop shortcut to the location of spyder3.exe.
