Update Spyder? - how?

[Lindsay Fowler]

Hi All,

After reporting the bug with obscurred icons in Spyder 5, I was told this was fixed now.

I don't understand how to update Spyder.

I tried all things I read online:

Anaconda Home > Spyder > Install

Anaconda Home > Spyder > Install Specific version

Anaconda Prompt > conda update sypder

Andaconda Prompt > run as admin > conda update spyder

Andaconda Prompt > conda update --name base conda

Anaconda Prompt > conda update all

Anaconda PowerShell Prompt > conda update sypder

Andaconda Prompt > run as admin > conda update spyder

Can anyone please tell me the actual proper way to update it?

Thanks

Hello,

The default anaconda channel only has version 5.0.0. The community-led channel `conda-forge` already has version 5.0.3. To install spyder from that channel the following command should work inside the anaconda prompt:

conda install -c conda-forge spyder

Kind regards

Ensure you have anaconda 2021-05 installed (the latest standalone installer).

In Windows open up the Anaconda PowerShell Prompt or in Linux open up the Terminal.

Type in:

conda update --all

This should update the Anaconda Python distribution to the latest stable version, specifically updating Python to a compatible version for Spyder 5.

Next search the anaconda and conda-forge channels for the latest Spyder release:

conda search --channel anaconda spyder

conda search --channel conda-forge spyder

At the time of writing the conda-forge channel is more up to date than the anaconda channel.

Type in:

conda install --channel conda-forge spyder=5.0.3

On my Linux and Windows 10 install not specifying the version number preferenced spyder version 4.2.5

Note - if you are running version 4, you need to explicitly put in the version:

conda install -c conda-forge spyder=5.0.3

Unfortunately, the code outline functionality is still not working in this version.

I would try

conda update --all

but the update may not be available to download yet.
