In this video, I look at installing the Spyder 6 IDE on Windows 11. The installation file can be downloaded from Spyder's GitHub page: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/...

The Spyder 6 IDE has its own internal conda Python environment with Python, numpy, pandas and matplotlib.

To install other packages such as seaborn, I also demonstrate creating a custom conda (conda-forge community channel) environment with Miniconda. The shell script installation file for Miniconda can be downloaded from Anaconda:
https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/

Note that this conda environment requires spyder-kernels. The example conda-forge environment is:

conda create -n spyder-env -c conda-forge python seaborn pyarrow sympy openpyxl xlrd xlsxwriter lxml sqlalchemy tabulate pyqt spyder-kernels

If planning to use TeX with matplotlib plots, MikTeX should be installed and updated:
https://miktex.org/
Upon first launch MikTeX will show a dialog box to install some fonts type1cm, cm-super, geometry, underscore, zhmetrics (these can also be installed using the MikTeX console).

If you want to put plot on top, this can be done with PowerToys:
