[spyder] Don't know how to install new modules

[Haiman Duan]

Hi everyone,

I try to install cvxopt into the Spyder of Python 2.7.

I used the terminal with Linux commands. But after I entered the directory
of the module, I used "Python setup.py install" but it turns out that the
command was invalid.

I googled a lot but I fail to find a solution to installing a module within
Spyder. Can you guys give me some suggestions?

Thank you!

You do not install a module into Spyder. Either you install it into the
global system or a local system. say a virtualenv.

According to the cvxopt docs:

http://cvxopt.org/install/index.html

what you did was correct.

So:

1) More information on your system. OS and version.

2) Did you try the above install as root, via sudo for instance?

3) What made you think the command was invalid?

4) More to the point, was there an error message?
