title: Installing spyder for python3 on mac
body: <p>I am very frustrated. It seems I don't understand a very basic concept of this installing and can't find an answer.</p>
  
  <p>As the title says I want to install spyder for python3 on my mac. Since I couldn't find any easy installation just by clicking some where.</p>
  
  <p>On mac python 2.7 is preinstalled and I already installed python3 which was pretty easy.</p>
  
  <p>So I started by installing <code>pip</code> by typing <code>sudo easy_install pip</code> in the command line. Then I followed the introduction of <a href="https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases" rel="noreferrer">this site</a> which basically says to type <code>pip install -U spyder</code> which led to an error at the end. I realized that I have to use <code>pip3</code> because I have two python versions. Why is this nowhere mentioned?! Anyway this worked -- at least it didn't trigger an error. However, now I am confused where is the application? How can I use spyder now?</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><strong>edit</strong>
  As I changed into to folder bin suddenly the terminal responded to <code>spyder3</code>
  But the result was</p>
