Can I suggest to update https://pythonhosted.org/spyder/installation.html? 

This page is referenced a lot and cause confusion. 

Also, the instructions for "Run without installing" section doesn't make 
sense and doesn't work out-of-the box on macOS.

Newbie's landing on this page will have a hard time to get on Spyder 
(without Anaconda).
