'Can't launch Spyder after installing with pip
Python beginner here. I would like to use Spyder as my Python IDE. Alas the standalone version does not include pip and I want to work with "Vanilla Python" rather than Anaconda. So I installed Spyder via
pip install spyder, which works fine. However, when running spyder3 in the command window, nothing happens. I get no error, but Spyder does not launch either. While the Spyder website says custom installation may be tricky, it does not provide a guide on how to get it done. Does someone know how? OS is Windows 10.
Solution 1:[1]
Update: Tried again with Python 3.10.4. "spyder" now exists in the Scripts folder and does launch when typing spyder in cmd. Works for me now.
Solution 2:[2]
you need to follow this commands:
python -m venv spyder-env
spyder-env/Scripts/activate.bat
pip install spyder
