Can someone point me at explicit (step-by-step) instructions for
getting Spyder running on a Win7 x64 system?
It's not clear to me:
1 - Which version of Python I need (x86, x64, or doesn't matter)
2 - Where Python has to be installed (anywhere or only in c:\Python27)
3 - If I should be using the installer or "standalone".
4 - If the "standalone", how to use it?
Since I haven't found documentation that answers these questions, I've
tried as many brute-force permutations of the above as I can think of,
but I still don't have it running.
Here is what I tried so far:
-------------------------------------
Spyder installation attempt log, started 2012-01-02
All attempts on Windows 7 x64.
Try 1:
Install spyder-2.1.6_py27.exe
Complains that Python is not installed.
Try 2:
Install Python 2.7.2 x64 in c:\Program Files\python272
Install spyder-2.1.6_py27.exe
Fails. Uninstall.
Try 3:
Install Python 2.7.2 x64 in c:\python27 (default location)
Install spyder-2.1.6_py27.exe
Fails. Uninstall.
Try 4:
Install Python 2.7.2 x64 in c:\python27 (default location)
Extract spyder-win32-sa-2.1.6.zip
Run spyder.exe
Fails. Uninstall.
Try 5:
Install Python 2.7.2 x86 in c:\Program Files (x86)\python272
Install spyder-2.1.6_py27.exe
Fails. Uninstall.
Try 6:
Install Python 2.7.2 x86 in c:\python27 (default location)
Install spyder-2.1.6_py27.exe
Fails. (did _not_ uninstall at this time)
Try 7:
Extract spyder-win32-sa-2.1.6.zip
Run spyder.exe
Gives error about "Spyder crashed last time" and suggests running
"--reset".
So I try:
C:\Users\dave>cd \Python27
C:\Python27>python spyder --reset
python: can't open file 'spyder': [Errno 2] No such file or
directory
C:\Python27>
Since that didn't work, I instead delete the entire contents
of C:\Users\dave\.spyder2
Extract spyder-win32-sa-2.1.6.zip
Run spyder.exe
I get the Spyder32 splash screen for a moment, then it disappears and
there
is no sign of Spyder running.
Extract spyder-win32-sa-2.1.6.zip
Run spyder.exe
Again I get the error about "Spyder crashed last time" and suggests
running
"--reset".
I give up for now; will post this log on the Spyder thread.
