Issue Report

Two issues I found tonight...

The Spyder FAQs page is out of date for Spyder-kernels versions... https://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/faq.html

I am running Spyder 5.1.5 and it complains about the correct version of spyder-kernels not being installed. I have 1.10.2 installed and Spyder 5.1.5 requires 2.2.1.

Where is the relevant portion of the documentation located?

See the following link: 

[https://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/faq#troubleshooting-starting-kernel](url)

What would you suggest it be replaced with?

Please update the table in the documentation page above, and more importantly, please update the Spyder 5.x package installers to install the correct version of spyder-kernels.

the "installing and updating Spyder" section is also out of date...

Also, the code conda install spyder=4 in the following FAQs page section is also out of date for Spyder 5.1+
