Just installed Miniconda and then installed Spyder with conda.

conda seems kinda of cool, thanks a lot 😃 !

Anaconda seems a bit too big for my needs

You can also install Miniconda, which just installs the minimal packages needed for conda to run, and then install only the libraries that you need.

What is you latest Spyder package release for Macos

3.0.2 is our latest DMG and 3.1.4 is our latest version. Sorry, but I don’t have more time to update our DMG, so we rely on Anaconda (very few people have asked for an update too).
