[FIXED] Pip install in Spyder

Issue

I'm using Python 3.6 through Spyder in Anaconda3. I have both the Anaconda installation and a "clean" python installation.

Before I installed the "clean" python, when I ran the Python -V command in cmd I got the following version description Python 3.6.5 :: Anaconda, Inc. Now when I run the command it just says Python 3.6.5. and the pip list is a whole lot shorter.

When ever I open Spyder and find some package that I don't have... how would I go about installing said package? If I just open cmd and write pip install ... it will install in the "clean" python directory. How do I tell it to connect to Spyder?

Solution

As you can see in this post there is some difference between pip and conda.

Using Anaconda environment you should use the conda command to install you library, package, etc..
