- Homebrew is a package manager for MAC OS X. Using Homebrew you can directly download and install many open source software and unix tools. Again instead of downloading.dmg files and moving the applications you may use Homebrew Cask to install these applications.
- Spyder is a powerful scientific environment written in Python, for Python, and designed by and for scientists, engineers and data analysts. It features a unique combination of the advanced editing, analysis, debugging and profiling functionality of a comprehensive development tool with the data exploration, interactive execution, deep.
Installing Spyder on Mac:
I tried installing Spyder IDE using Homebrew on Mac OSX 10.9 (Mavericks). But wasn’t successful because I wasn’t able to install PyQt5 using the same package manager. It gave me a “SHA256 mismatch” error. After much digging in, I gave up!

So I uninstalled Homebrew fully by giving the following on Terminal:
Give “y” when it asks for confirmation. Homebrew was uninstalled. But it gave a list of folders that you need to manually delete from the /usr/local/ directory. You can do that later.
Then I installed Miniconda on my system by following the steps mentioned in the link below: https://yolakb.weebly.com/blog/how-to-download-pyscripter-for-mac.
Now that Miniconda was installed on my Mac, I proceeded to install Spyder IDE by simply typing the following on the Terminal:
conda install spyder Ps3 emulator for mac download free 64-bit.
When the “cask” option is used, the user has access to over 3800 Mac OS X GUI programs that can be installed and updated. With the “mas” option, the user can download and update programs from the Apple App Store. The Homebrew developer’s describe Homebrew very concisely: “Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple didn’t.”. How to install Conda, Anaconda, and Spyder IDE using Homebrew on Mac OS Today I needed to install Anaconda to install Spyder IDE so that I could work on some Python stuff. Python can get a little tricky with environments in my experience, so I wanted to document what I ended up.
This installed Spyder. But every time I need to open the IDE, I had to open a Terminal window and type “spyder” to launch the application. I wanted to create a launch icon on my Dock for easy access. This is how it can be accomplished:
Create a Launch Icon for Spyder:
On the Terminal get the path of the spyder executable by typing:
Automatically download pictures in outlook mac. which spyder
On my system this gave the path: ~/miniconda3/bin/spyder
Now create a file called spyder in your Applications folder and make it an executable.
touch /Applications/spyder
chmod +x /Applications/spyder
Then paste the following lines of code into it and save it.
#!/bin/bash
~/miniconda3/bin/spyder &
exit
~/miniconda3/bin/spyder &
exit
Now drag the spyder exe from the Applications folder onto the Desktop. You can launch Spyder now by clicking on the shortcut icon on the Desktop.
Instead of doing all of the above, you can also directly create a copy of the executable on the Desktop and use that as the launch icon too.
cp ~/miniconda3/bin/spyder ~/Desktop
Now by double-clicking on the spyder exe on the Desktop you can launch Spyder.
To give the exe icon an image:
- From the Finder window, press Cmd + Shift + G to get the Go To Folder pop-up.
- Paste the following path in it: ~/miniconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/spyder/images.
- Scroll down to the spyder.png image.
- Open this image in the Preview app.
- Press Cmd + C to copy the image to the Clipboard.
- Now right click on the spyder exe shortcut that we created on the Desktop.
- Go to Get Info.
- Click on the empty icon image on the top left corner of the Get Info pane.
- Press Cmd + V to paste the icon image from Clipboard.
