Hi @boazdori,

Can you please use the conda forge channel instead of spyder-ide channel?

conda create -n test-env -c conda-forge
conda activate test-env
conda install spyder spyder-terminal -c conda-forge

And that should work, sadly defaults channel is not updated with the latests releases. Let me know how it goes!

Hi,

Don't want to hijack OP's thread, but I was also looking for a solution, and I'm happy to report that I followed your steps @steff456 and it worked properly. I was able to get a Terminal in Spyder 5.2.2 and run a script from it. Thank you!

P.S. - On initial launch, the text inside the terminal might wrap in a weird way. Solution: Close the "Terminal 1" tab or resize the panel borders.

Version Details:

• Spyder version : 5.2.2 (Using Anaconda Navigator 2.1.1)
• Python version: 3.9.7
• OS: Windows 10 (21H1)

Great! I'm glad you all have a working Terminal in Spyder 5.2.x. I'm going to leave this issue open just for people to get the fix in case they are looking for it!

Hi! I have tried both, conda forge channel as well as spyder-ide channel and none of them seem to work for me. I am not getting any errors during the installation. But, after installation and restarting Spyder, I cannot access Views > Panes to start the and test the terminal. Clicking Panes button does not open it's extended menu.

Version details:

• Conda - 4.12.0
• Spyder version : 5.1.5 (Using Anaconda Navigator 2.1.2)
• Python version: 3.8.12
• OS: Windows 10
