Install SpaCy in a Jupyter Notebook

Question

I try to install SpaCy for lemmatization, but it won't work...

First I install spacy:

pip install -U spacy

Which leads to this results:

Then I try to import spacy:

import spacy

which works fine, no error occur. And then I want to load a data package:

nlp = spacy.load('de_core_news_sm')

Here the error occur:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OSError                                   Traceback (most recent call last)

    177 

OSError: [E050] Can't find model 'de_core_news_sm'. It doesn't seem to be a shortcut link, a Python package or a valid path to a data directory.

Answer 1

In order to load the model you need to download it first, if you are doing it on your local machine.(not on google colab). So after

pip install -U spacy

you need to download using

python -m spacy download de_core_news_sm

Then,

nlp = spacy.load('de_core_news_sm') 

---

Google Colaboratory

In case of trying it in google colab,

pip install -U spacy
import spacy.cli
spacy.cli.download("de_core_news_sm")

---

You can also add virtual environment then use spacy after activating in virtual environment.

python3 -m venv <name_of_virtualenv>
# to activate 
source /pathtovirenc/<name_of_virtualenv>/bin/activate

#then use the above commands
pip3 install -U spacy
python3 -m spacy download de_core_news_sm
