spyder-ide/spyder v5.5.1

on GitHub

Important Notes

1. If you are new to Python or the Scientific Python ecosystem, we strongly recommend you to install and use Anaconda. It comes with Spyder and all its dependencies, along with the most important Python scientific libraries (i.e. Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, IPython, etc) in a single, easy to use environment.
2. We also support pip, but please be aware that pip installations are for advanced users with good knowledge of all Spyder dependencies. Because of that, all installation problems you encounter are expected to be solved by you.

Anaconda

You can easily install this version if you use Anaconda by closing Spyder and then running the following command in a system terminal (Anaconda Prompt on Windows, xterm on Linux or Terminal.app on macOS):

conda install spyder=5.5.1

Notes:

• It can take a week or two, or even up to a month, for a new Spyder version to be part of Anaconda. Please be patient until then and do not report it as a problem because we don't have any control over that.

• If you installed Anaconda for the first time, you need to run the following command first:

  conda update anaconda
  

  before running the command above.

Pip

You can also use pip to update Spyder with the following command in a system terminal (cmd.exe on Windows, xterm on Linux or Terminal.app on macOS):

pip install -U spyder

Note: Do not use this command if you are using Anaconda because it will break your installation.
