Pip install in Spyder

I know it's a very late answer, but it may help other people. When you are working with anaconda you can use the basic environement or create a new one (it may be what's you call a "clean" python installation). To do that just do the following :

• Open you anaconda navigator
• Go to "Environments"
• Click on the button create. Here by the way you can choose you python version

Then to install your lib you can use your Anaconda GUI :

• Double click on you environment
• On the right side you have all you installed lib. In the list box select "Not installed"
• Look for your lib, check it and click on "apply" on the bottom right

You can also do it in your windows console (cmd), I prefer this way (more trust and you can see what's going on) :

• Open you console
• conda activate yourEnvName
• conda install -n yourEnvName yourLib
• Only if your conda install did not find your lib do pip install yourLib
• At the end conda deactivate

/!\ If you are using this way, close your Anaconda GUI while you are doing this

If you want you can find your environement(s) in (on Windows) C:\Users\XxUserNamexX\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\envs. Each folder will contains the library for the named environement.

Hope it will be helpfull

PS : Note that it is important to launch spyder through the Anaconda GUI if you want Spyder to find your lib

If you are using Spyder IDE easiest procedure which i found to install PIP is -:

Step 1- Check if Python is installed correctly. The simplest way to test for a Python installation on your Windows server is to open a command prompt (click on the Windows icon and type cmd, then click on the command prompt icon). Once a command prompt window opens, type python and press Enter. If Python is installed correctly, you should see output similar to what is shown below:

Python 3.7.0 (v3.7.0:1bf9cc5093, Jun 27 2018, 04:59:51) [MSC v.1914 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Step 2-: Now in Step 2 Once you’ve confirmed that Python is correctly installed, you can proceed with installing Pip.

Download get-pip.py https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py to a folder on your computer. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder containing get-pip.py. Run the following command: python get-pip.py Pip is now installed! You can verify that Pip was installed correctly by opening a command prompt and entering the following command:

pip -V

You should see output similar to the following:

pip 18.0 from c:\users\administrator\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)enter code here
