Why it’s not showing up Spyder 6 (latest, Oct 2024+) no longer supports spyder-terminal yet. The plugin ecosystem is being rewritten, so the old spyder-terminal only works reliably with Spyder 5.x. If you installed Spyder 6 (from conda-forge or pip), the plugin won’t appear under View > Panes.
Mismatch between Spyder and spyder-terminal versions The plugin must match the Spyder major version. For example: Spyder 5.x ↔️ spyder-terminal 1.x Spyder 6.x ↔️ plugin not yet released ✅ Solutions Option 1: Use Spyder 5.x with terminal plugin (stable way) conda create -n spyder5 -c conda-forge python=3.10 spyder=5.4.3 spyder-terminal conda activate spyder5 spyder 👉 Now, in Spyder 5, you should see View → Panes → Terminal. Option 2: If you want to stay on Spyder 6 (latest) As of now, spyder-terminal is not yet compatible with Spyder 6 (the Spyder devs are working on new plugin support). Workaround: use an external system terminal or Spyder’s built-in IPython console until the new plugin arrives. Option 3: (Ubuntu only) Use system terminal inside Spyder Not exactly the same, but you can open a terminal side-by-side with Spyder: gnome-terminal -- bash Or even configure Tools → Preferences → Current Working Directory → Execute in system terminal. 🚀 Recommendation If the terminal pane is essential to your workflow → stick to Spyder 5.4.3 + spyder-terminal for now. If you want the latest Spyder features → use Spyder 6 but wait for plugin updates On Wed, 27 Aug 2025 at 10:09 PM Daniel Althviz Moré <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Without further info (Spyder version, OS, a way to reproduce the issue > being experienced, etc) is quite difficult to give you any help.
