I have installed miniconda on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine. I want to install Spyder 5.0.2 through conda. I do not want v5.0.0 as it's icons are messed up.
conda install spyder=5 dosent install v5.0.2
conda install spyder=5.0.2 gives PackageNotFoundError
I have also tried conda update conda, conda install spyder=5.0.2 but it gives the same error.
Miniconda has --
conda 4.10.1
python 3.8.3
If the configuration is a base Miniconda install, then you likely only have the defaults channel. Conda Forge's channel tends to release earlier, so try installing from there, e.g.,
conda install conda-forge::spyder[version='>=5.0.2']
Please be aware that the recommended workflow for Spyder with Conda is to have a single dedicated environment for Spyder, and install the spyder-kernels package in environments that you wish to use in Spyder. See the Spyder Documentation. Something like,
# spyder env
conda create -n spyder -c conda-forge spyder
# kernel env
conda create -n foo -c conda-forge python=3.9 spyder-kernels
# always launch Spyder with
conda activate spyder
spyder
# then switch kernels from within Spyder
You may want to consider using Conda Forge as your primary source of packages, since it follows releases on PyPI with less lag. See the Conda Forge documentation.
First, uninstall spyder on anaconda. Then run cmd prompt (for windows) and use this command.
conda install -c conda-forge spyder=5.3.1
Write it like this:
conda install spyder-app=5.0.2
You might also want to install anaconda navigator, go to anaconda prompt and type:
conda install anaconda-navigator
Open navigator and navigate to spyder and install the version you want.
