What worked best for me was installing Spyder in a new conda environment (tested with both the Anaconda Individual Edition and Miniconda on Windows 11 Beta).
First update the base environment to make sure you have the latest conda package manager: conda update --all Next create a new conda environment, activate it and install the latest version of Spyder in it, alongside the optional dependencies. I also added seaborn and libraries that pandas uses for reading and writing to excel files: conda create -n spyder514 conda activate spyder514 conda config --add channels conda-forge conda config --set channel_priority strict conda install spyder=5.1.4 conda install cython matplotlib numpy pandas scipy sympy seaborn openpyxl xlrd xlsxwriter You can launch Spyder 5.1.4 from the Anaconda Powershell Prompt by using: conda activate spyder514 spyder However a Start Menu shortcut should also be created on Windows which can be used to launch Spyder. I also tested this on Ubuntu 21.10 Beta. There seems to be no prompt to install Kite in the latest version and I had to manually download the .sh file from here and install it using the terminal: https://linux.kite.com/dls/linux/current On Thursday, September 9, 2021 at 3:38:31 PM UTC+1 [email protected] wrote: > In my view, you may report the error and try to re-install the software. > Regards, > > On Thu, Sep 9, 2021 at 7:50 AM <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Good morning: >> >> >> >> Before I enter a formal issue on Github, let me try this group as a quick >> clarification might suffice. >> >> >> >> I just installed Spyder 5.1.3 using the Windows installer (I had used it >> in the past; before I was using Conda to install updates – but it is now >> taking too long for Spyder to show up even on Conda Forge).
