I installed the latest version of Anaconda. I fired up Spyder and immediately ran into trouble with error dialogs. I couldn’t even run the starting tutorial without an error.
You have missing dependencies (jedi blah blah blah)
Please install them to avoid this message
Incompatible Sphinx version or doc string decoding failed
could not import extension sphing.builders.epub3
Certainly I should be able to run the included tutorial out of the box. As a (now retired) computer professional working in a critical industry (electric utility) I long ago learned that you never give the user an error message without also giving them information on how to fix it. What I have here is pretty much “You have an error and you are on your own.”
At the very least there should be a sample script that can be run to verify that the installation works without further tinkering.
I should point out that because I am hearing impaired I cannot understand the online video presentations. My poor hearing with narrators with thick accents (and auto-generated captioning with many errors) makes them useless.
Please, is there a getting started guide that actually works? Hopefully one that does not use overly complex examples.

Nice to meet you.
It seems that you are in great trouble, so I will give you some simple advice. It seems that you are looking for a user guide, so we will provide you with the URL.
That’s all, but if you write down the version of your OS and Anaconda, you can ask questions on StackOverflow, GeeksToGeek, etc., and I think you can get a quick answer.
