Description
Installing SpaCy+its english model on Windows appeared to be quite a challenge. Hopefully now we have a solution.
Note: run all of this in the anaconda command prompt, and as administrator.
-
Installing SpaCy - if you have problems with installing spacy itself, then first update anaconda by running:
conda update anaconda. After this, install spacy as suggested by spacy.io for your platform. -
Downloading SpaCy's english model - If you have problems with this, then first run:
pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-1.2.0/en_core_web_sm-1.2.0.tar.gz
and then download the english model as suggested by spacy.io for your platform.
