The correct command is:
pip install -U --no-install --allow-external spyder --allow-unverified spyder spyder

I guess that a mirror should be made on pypi as pip doesn't allow the installation from external links by default.

Sprry, the correct command is :

pip install -U --allow-external spyder --allow-unverified spyder spyder
