SpaCy OSError: Can't find model 'en'

By using sudo python ... you install the model for a different python interpreter than your local one. In fact, it says in your log that the spaCy model is installed to /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ instead of /scratch/sjn/anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/.

Try running python -m spacy download en and it should install the model to the correct directory.

FINALLY CLEARED THE ERROR !!!

Always Open Anaconda Prompt / Command Prompt with Admin Rights to avoid Linking errors!!!

• Tried multiple options including :

  python -m spacy download en

  conda install -c conda-forge spacy

  python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

  python -m spacy link en_core_web_sm en

• None worked since im using my Company's Network. Finally this Command Worked like a Charm :-)

  pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.0.0/en_core_web_sm-2.0.0.tar.gz --no-deps

  • Updated with Latest Link :

  pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.3.1/en_core_web_sm-2.3.1.tar.gz --no-deps

Thanks to the Updated Github Links :-)

$ sudo /scratch/sjn/anaconda/bin/python -m spacy download en
