What is the procedure to update spyder on Anaconda

Question

I have installed Anaconda for python 3.7. I am using python 3.7.3. I want to update to the latest version of spyder. How to do it?

Answer 1

This is a pretty simple thing to do. If you want to update spyder in the root environment then simply type conda update spyder in the terminal. But if you have a virtual environment where you need to update it then use the following command -

conda update -n $ENV_NAME spyder where $ENV_NAME is your environment name

and what to do if your computer answers "command not found: conda" ?

Hey,

Are you working with Linux System?

Though after the Anaconda and Miniconda install, there should have been a message like, "For this change to become active, you have to open a new terminal.". Close the terminal and reconnect, and your command should work.
