**❓ If you have a question or issue with MNE-Python, please include the following info:**

- MNE version: 0.24.0
- operating system: RHEL 7

I have two installations of Anaconda: Anaconda2, Anaconda3  
But, my MNE python was setup with using Anaconda2.

When I try to use MNE on spyder console- MNE is taking /usr/bin/anaconda3/bin executable path instead of /usr/bin/anaconda2/bin.

I exported to the path too. But, It is not working.

Could anyone please guide me how to fix this issue.

Hi @shivak3,  
you can set which python environment is used by Spyder, see this link: [Frequently Asked Questions — Spyder 5 documentation](https://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/faq.html#using-existing-environment)
