To connect to an external kernel,

#. Launch an IPython kernel on the local or remote host if one is not already running, e.g. with ``ipython kernel``.
#. Launch an IPython kernel on the local or remote host if one is not already running.
If using Spyder 3.3.0 or later, you'll need to do so with ``python -m spyder_kernels.console`` (after you've first installed ``spyder-kernels`` on the host with ``<conda/pip> install spyder-kernels``).
If using a version of Spyder before 3.3.0, ``ipython kernel`` should work to launch the kernel, albeit without certain Spyder-specific features.
#. Make sure to copy the connection file (:file:`{runtime-dir}/kernel-{pid}.json`) to the machine you're running Spyder on (if remote) or note its location (if local).
#. Click :guilabel:`Connect to an existing kernel` from the :guilabel:`Console` menu or the :guilabel:`IPython Console` pane's "Gear" menu.
#. Browse for or enter the path to the connection file from the previous step.
