Once you've created the environment you can activate it by typing source activate myenv (as the helpful conda message will point out). The built-in interpreter of the standalone version doesn't currently support installing packages beyond the common scientific libraries bundled with it, so most users will want to have an external Python environment to run their own code, like with any other IDE.Īlso, the standalone installers don't yet work with third-party plugins, so users needing them should use Spyder through a Conda-based distribution instead.įor a detailed guide to this and the other different ways to obtain Spyder, refer to our full installation instructions, and check out our release page for links to all our installers. Also python 3.7 is the latest python version as of the time of this writing but may need to be changed with later version in the future. You can also try out Spyder right in your web browser by launching it on Binder. We offer standalone installers on Windows and macOS, and as our Linux installer is are still experimental, we currently recommend the cross-platform Anaconda distribution for that operating system, which includes Spyder and many other useful packages for scientific Python.
