Spyder does not start on a fresh install #13

Closed mwtoews closed 4 years ago

mwtoews commented 7 years ago

On a new Windows 10 x64 system, I've downloaded and installed Anaconda 2.7, and added the conda-forge channel, and ran conda update --all. However, while attempting to run Spyder for the first time, I get an error dialog:

Spyder Please check Spyder installation requirements: PyQt4 4.6+ (or PySide 1.2.0+) is required.

However I see that pyqt 5.6.0 from conda-forge is installed.

After running conda install pyqt==4.11.4 Spyder starts normally.

Is there an error with the dependencies?

ccordoba12 commented 7 years ago

Probably an installation problem of Qt5. If you reinstall pyqt 5.6.0 and run in a terminal

qmake -query

what do you get?

With PyQT 4.11.4:

And reinstalling PyQt5:
