Spyder IDE : No module named pip on Mac

Question

I'm trying to use PIP to install pandas on spyder however I keep getting this issue:

/Applications/Spyder.app/Contents/MacOS/python: No module named pip
Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

Answer 1

(Spyder maintainer here) We don't provide pip in our Mac app to prevent people breaking Spyder by installing any kind of packages with it.

The only way to use other packages that don't come with our app is to install Miniconda, create a conda environment after that with the packages you want to use and spyder-kernels, and finally connect Spyder to that env.
