Spyder can be installed with pip or through Anaconda, just like Jupyter. However, the developers of Spyder recommend installation through Anaconda.

Spyder can also be launched using methods similar to those for Jupyter Notebook or by typing spyder in the terminal:

Spyder features a script editor and an IPython console. The upper-right pane can shift between a help browser, variable explorer, and file explorer. The editor can be split into a number of cells for a more systematic programming. The IPython console comes in handy when using small snippets of code. The variable explorer provides a summary of all the global objects in the Python session.
