If your Python environment doesn't have Spyder installed, you should be able to install it via the command python -m pip install spyder.

Note that a general-purpose Python IDE like Spyder requires one extra step to use Gurobi that isn't required when you launch the Gurobi shell from the gurobi.sh command: you must manually load the Gurobi module by typing from gurobipy import * (or import gurobipy as gp) before issuing any Gurobi commands.
