I want to be able to have two instances which are completely independent in the sense that I can be working on two separate unrelated projects in different folders without any interference.
Option 1 - Select parts of the code and hit F9 This runs the selected code.
You can launch it in any of the following ways: From the command line: Type spyder in your terminal (or Anaconda prompt on Windows). From Anaconda Navigator: Scroll to Spyder under Home, and click Launch.
Running with Anaconda On other platforms, open Anaconda Navigator, scroll to Spyder under Home and click Launch. If Spyder does not start via this method or you prefer to use the command line, open Anaconda Prompt (Windows) or your terminal (other platforms), type conda activate base then spyder .
(Spyder maintainer here) This is easy. You need to go to:
Tools > Preferences > Application
in Spyder 5, or
Tools > Preferences > General
in Spyder 4, click the "Advanced Settings" tab, and deactivate the option called
[ ] Use a single instance
Then every time you start Spyder a new window will be opened. If you want the old behavior back, just activate that option again.
