Getting error while loading spacy - 'en_core_web_sm' library

I have tried running below commands, it shows as requirement already satisfied but I am still not able load 'en_core_web_sm'. I have tried downloading the library from anaconda prompt and jupyter notebook as well.

 nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_sm',disable=['ner','textcat'])

Python version - Python 3.8.3

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Solution

  • you need to install the en_core_web_sm model separately by using the following command after installing spacy

    python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

    or

    python -m spacy download en

    I have tried the below steps in my jupyter notebook just now and it works good as below:

    step1:

    !pip install spacy

    Result:

    Requirement already satisfied: spacy in c:\users\user\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda\lib\site-packages (2.3.2)

    step2:

    !python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

    Result:
