summary: Spyder 6 will introduce new conda-based installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux. While Windows and macOS have had installers for some time, this new development will provide a more consistent and reliable user experience across all platforms, including Linux. Additionally, the new installers lay the foundation for several exciting new Spyder features. | ||
--- | ||
|
||
For the last several years, Spyder has offered standalone installers for Windows and macOS which isolate Spyder's runtime environment from users' development environments. | ||
This provides a more stable user experience than traditional conda or pip installation methods. | ||
However, these standalone installers did not allow implementing desirable features, such as automatic incremental updates or installing external Spyder plugins like Spyder-Notebook and Spyder-Unittest. | ||
Additionally, these standalone applications were limited to Windows and macOS. | ||
|
||
Our new installers will provide a more consistent experience for users across all platforms, including Linux, while maintaining the benefits of an isolated runtime environment for Spyder. | ||
Additionally, they are fully compatible with incremental updates and external plugin management. | ||
Look for future announcements about these and other features! | ||
|
||
So, what will you see with these new installers? | ||
If you are a Windows user, you will continue to have a graphical interface guiding you through the installation process, and will likely not notice any difference from the previous experience. | ||

||
If you are a macOS user, you will now have a `.pkg` package installer instead of a `.dmg` disk image. | ||
Rather than drag-and-drop the application to the `Applications` folder, the `.pkg` installer provides a graphical interface that will guide you through the installation process with more flexibility. | ||
|
||

|
||
If you are a Linux user, you will have an interactive shell script guiding you through the installation process. | ||
This ensures it is compatible with as many distributions and desktop environments as possible. | ||
|
||

|
||
In all cases, you will not need to have Anaconda installed, nor do you need an existing Python environment; in fact, you don't even need a preexisting Python installation! | ||
These installers are completely self-contained. | ||
Spyder will continue to include popular packages such as NumPy, SciPy, Pandas and Matplotlib so you can start coding out-of-the-box. | ||
However, you will still be able to use Spyder with your existing conda, venv, Python.org, and other Python installers and environments as before. | ||
Furthermore, only Spyder and its critical dependencies will be updated on each new release, which will make getting the latest version a lean and frictionless process. | ||
|
||
The Spyder team is really excited about these new installers and the new features they will make possible, and we hope you enjoy them too! |
