Cannot upgrade to 5.3.3 from Anaconda Navigator, or by using Conda (Anaconda base environment)

[scrappydog1958]

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

If I try to upgrade to 5.3.3 using Anaconda Navigator it fails. If I try to use the terminal and the conda commands, it also fails. Only way I can get 5.3.3 is as stand alone

Hi @scrappydog1958 , if you want to install Spyder 5.3.3 through conda, you will need to create a new environment. To do that, you can run something like the following from an Anaconda prompt:

conda create -n spyder-533 python=3.10 spyder=5.3.3

Then you will need to either activate the env and launch from it Spyder by running on an Anaconda prompt something like:

conda activate spyder-533
spyder

or check in your start menu for the shortcut that should have been created with the name Spyder (spyder-533)

Let us know if the info above helps!

thx so much! I waste one day to update the 5.3.3, but all ways have failed. The way you provide works.
A new problem is that when I install pkg either on an Anaconda prompt or in spyder, after pkg installed, the spyder crashed( be busy and cannot click).
on an Anaconda prompt

conda install pandas

in spyder

!pip install pyarrow

Notice that when I‘m installing pkg, the spyder 5.3.3 is open.
After close spyder and restart it, it works well.
Pkg installation is a frequent action, so it may not be so convenient.

Fantastic!!!!! worked like a charm. A thousand thanks sir. So happy I joined Github

Thank you,

Thomas

Glad it worked for you @scrappydog1958 !

In your case @yanyu2015 if you are constantly installing packages I would suggest you to always do it with the anaconda prompt and using the conda-forge channel (adding to your installation command the -c conda-forge flag). After installing new packages, if Spyder is running, you will need to restart the IPython console kernel inside Spyder or start a new IPython console inside Spyder to be able to use them

[yanyu2015]

@dalthviz It works well now. The above phenomenon may be due to the large dataset I used at the time.

Awesome @yanyu2015 ! I will close this as completed then 👍

Now that spyder 5.4 is out how do you change your commands tomorrow to upgrade?

@scrappydog1958 you can will need to create a new environment running something like the following from an Anaconda prompt (since that the default anaconda channel doesn't have yet the Spyder 5.4.0 version available):

conda create -n spyder-540 -c conda-forge python=3.10 spyder=5.4.0

Then from the Anaconda prompt you can activate the new env spyder-540 and launch Spyder by running something like:

conda activate spyder-540
spyder

Or launching from the start menu searching for the Spyder (spyder-540) shortcut
