#INSTALL MATPLOTLIB ON SPYDER INSTALL#
To install matplotlib on Windows you’ll first need to install Visual Studio, which will help your system install the packages that matplotlib depends on. If you have trouble installing matplotlib using pip, try leaving off the -user flag. If you need help using pip, see the instructions in Chapter 12. Checking if matplotlib is already installedįirst, check if matplotlib is already installed on your system: When you click a visualization in the gallery, you can see the code used to generate the plot. If you’d like to see the kinds of visualizations you can make with matplotlib, see the official matplotlib sample gallery. In this section, I’ll recommend one method for each operating system. There are many different ways to install matplotlib to your system.
#INSTALL MATPLOTLIB ON SPYDER HOW TO#
Change the backend to either automatic or inline as desired: How to Use Spyder 4 To the left hand side selecting iPython Console, then to the top select Graphics. The default behavior can be changed by going to tools and preferences: It can be reverted by typing in: %matplotlib inline This behaviour can be modified for a single session to plot each figure in a dedicated window by typing in: %matplotlib auto import numpy as npīy default plots will show up inline embedded within the plots pane. We can create a very basic script to test out the numpy library and the matplotlib plotting libraries. Then selecting Run to the left hand side and "Run in console's namespace instead of an empty one" on the right hand side.

This option can be accessed by going to Tools and then preferences: If this option is enabled the script runs as expected: If we just select Run without checking this we get an error. To do this select Help and then Dependencies:īy default "Run in console's namespace instead of an empty one" is unchecked unlike older Spyder versions. It is recommended to check whether all Dependencies are installed.

Relaunching Anaconda Navigator will display the updated versions: Dependencies Check It is finished when you see (base) PS C:\Users\…> You will get a list of the currently installed packages and the versions they will be updated to:Īnaconda will update. Or to install a specific version of Spyder: conda install spyder=4.1.1
#INSTALL MATPLOTLIB ON SPYDER UPDATE#
Type in the following command: conda update anaconda To update the Anaconda distribution launch the Anaconda Powershell Prompt from your Start Menu. Notes are given below on optionally updating via the Anaconda Powershell Prompt. In most cases it is recommended to only update when a new standalone installer is released unless you are looking for a bleeding edge feature or require a bug fix. The standalone installer is usually the most stable version of Anaconda.

Updating your Anaconda Installation (Optional)
#INSTALL MATPLOTLIB ON SPYDER WINDOWS 10#
You can download the latest Anaconda Windows 10 application from here:
#INSTALL MATPLOTLIB ON SPYDER FULL#
The user account "Philip" is preferable to the full name "Philip Yip". The Anaconda installation won't like this as there is a possibility that many third party Python libraries will not function due to the space.

On the other hand if Windows 10 is installed with a Local User Account it is possible to create a Local User Account with a space for example "Philip Yip". This is not a problem if you have installed Windows 10 using a Microsoft Account as emails addresses cannot contain spaces. The Anaconda Installation does not like User Accounts which contain spaces. This should give you a clean uninstallation:Īny old versions of Kite should also be uninstalled. Select your user name and delete any folders and files beginning with a full stop. To do this we need to view hidden files and manually delete them. To get around this we need to purge the system of the configuration files. Sometimes if these configurations are corrupted it can cause an issue when Anaconda is reinstalled. The uninstall will remove the Anaconda installation however Anaconda navigator and Spyder configuration files will be left behind.
