Linux (CentOS 7+): Linux-x86_64.sh (Experimental)
Advanced installation
Important Notes
- 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.
- We also support
pip
, but please be aware thatpip
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=5.5.4
Notes:
-
It can take several months 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.
