Spyder is IDE for python, I think this tool is very useful for anyone who want to use python.

So I want to show you installation and running it.

before doing that, my evironment setting is :

hyunyoung2@hyunyoung2-desktop:~$ uname -a      
Linux hyunyoung2-desktop 4.8.0-36-generic #36~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Sun Feb 5 09:39:57 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

First If you want to install spyder or spyder3.

type in as following.

sudo apt-get install spyder3
sudo apt-get install spyder

spyder3 for python3.n.

But if you cannot install like this :

hyunyoung2@hyunyoung2-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install spyder

E: Unable to locate package spyder

you have to update your package list and upgrade all software to the latest version.
