1. Start Spyder from the Start Menu

2. Go to Tools → Preferences → Python interpreter

4. Restart the console by clicking the cross next to “Console 1/A”

5. Open startup script from MORe installation directory (usually %localappdata%/MORe/python/MORe.ipy). Make sure to allow the opening of .ipy files in the file dialog.
