Also, related to this but for a separate PR, we should consider backporting the FAQ question on installing new Python packages with standalone Spyder (added in PR #259 and improved in subsequent PRs) to 4.x, since it is fully applicable to both versions and so we can directly link the FAQ questions here instead of just the section, without causing merge conflicts.
Investigating the linkcheck failure, it is apparently due to the Gentoo package site running into issues, which are apparently persisting when I try to access it now (the homepage loads, but no packages are found, and the sub-links down work). If this continues once this is ready, I'll either add an exclusion or remove the link.
@mrclary Do you mind checking over the standalone installers section and double-checking there isn't anything major amiss, and if so marking the conversations as resolved and dropping an approval on here? Thanks!
Thanks @mrclary . Good points; with this change, we do refer to both of those points in the Using Spyder from the standalone installers
section and link to the FAQ section that specifically address how to do so.
Thanks @mrclary , merging this.
