Question

I downloaded spyder using the

in my windows 10 32-bit operating system, but i dont see any desktop icons or exe files to start r

Answer 1

After pip install spyder give this command

pip install --upgrade spyder

This command will update all Spyder dependencies.

Now in command prompt(cmd) navigate to the scripts folder in your python directory. In my system the path is C:\Users\win10\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts so i use the following command in command prompt.

cd C:\Users\win10\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts

once you are inside scripts directory type spyder3 and press enter and spyder ide starts.

C:\Users\win10\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts>spyder3
