OSError: Can't find model 'en' about seq2seq_tutorial

[hamelsmu]

@ClaudeCoulombe try this in your terminal

python -m spacy download en

does that work?

[LargoTerranova]

For those using Anaconda I found the following solution to install the en package and link it succesully:

1. Right clik on the Anaconda Promt Icon
2. Go to "More" and click on "Open as Administrator"
3. Then type: python -m spacy download en

It worked for me

[Saravana08]

Hi, your solution (python -m spacy download en) worked perfectly, but it says download successfull but linking failed!
can you please help me.

[Saravana08]

Hi, this got resolved when i opened the cmd prompt as an Administrator, kindly open anaconda as an admin and then run the same commands, it should work.

[ClaudeCoulombe]

Maybe an answer to many people.

python -m spacy download en works only if you have administration rights, the installation folder should have admin rights

[ClaudeCoulombe]

Yess, it works! Thanks for your pretty fast answer!

I've tried with pip3 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-depswith no success.

But python -m spacy download enworks well. For the moment, I'm waiting after the preprocessing which seems to be long and memory consuming. I'm better to switch to cloud... I think...

I'll close the issue.

[venkey143228]

when i try ...it shows the following error sir... Creating a shortcut link for 'en' didn't work (maybe you don't have admin permissions?), but you can still load the model via its full package name: nlp = spacy.load('{name}') Download successful but linking failed

@theSaumya
same issue with me, but for some reasons when I do spacy.load('en_core_web_sm') it does work...

[koliko]

python -m spacy download en shows /usr/bin/python: No module named spacy

[sean-m-higgins]

Im using Python 3.6 and "python3 -m spacy download en" while in my site-packages directory worked for me!

[KIC]

Same here.

python -m spacy download de_core_news_md
Requirement already satisfied: de_core_news_md==2.1.0 from https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/de_core_news_md-2.1.0/de_core_news_md-2.1.0.tar.gz#egg=de_core_news_md==2.1.0 in c:\programdata\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (2.1.0)
✔ Download and installation successful
You can now load the model via spacy.load('de_core_news_md')

but actually loading it fails with

lib\site-packages\spacy\util.py in load_model(name, **overrides)
    134     elif hasattr(name, "exists"):  # Path or Path-like to model data
    135         return load_model_from_path(name, **overrides)
--> 136     raise IOError(Errors.E050.format(name=name))
    137 
    138 

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

I am using spacy 2.1.3 via coda on windows

[zhangzexdu]

I installed the spacy and used python3 -m spacy download en to link successfully.
Linking successful
/Users/kindler/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/en_core_web_sm -->
/Users/kindler/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/spacy/data/en

You can now load the model via spacy.load('en')

If I use the terminal python command line it will be load normally, but use the pycharm in the same virtualenv environment it will report an error.

For those using Anaconda I found the following solution to install the en package and link it succesully:

Thank so muuuuch SamCurtis111 !

[rtehporp]

@venkey143228
Maybe you should use sudo python -m spacy download en on linux.
Or you should use administrator cmd to run python -m spacy download en on windows.

[ranjankumar-gh]

Worked when I run Anaconda Prompt as an Administrator. Thanks

[vipul2001]

While using command
python -m spacy download en
the package 'en_core_web_sm' automatically comes into the picture and get installed
Also, it is better to use en_core_web_sm instead of en for models

i tried everything and this worked finally!! thank you

[Anujay-Saraf]

Hi , Its giving me the same issue, after downloading it says linking failed

[theSaumya]

I am logged in through the Admin account, but it still getting the linking error.

[Heng-Qi]

Thanks,

@ClaudeCoulombe try this in your terminal

python -m spacy download en

[WrathofBhuvan11]

Thanks,

@ClaudeCoulombe try this in your terminal

python -m spacy download en

does that work?

Thanks,it works for me.

No it says it can't link

[ChenMus]

Hi,it have showed linking successfully, but when I print 'nlp = spacy.load('en')' in prompt,it doesn't work ..

[hamelsmu]

@koliko are you running this code inside the provided docker container? if not, looks like you do not have spacy installed, so you will have to first install spacy

pip install spacy

[venkey143228]

Good evening sir,
I am beginner to spacy..
i installed spacy successfully and en module too.
but when am load the en module the following error came.

import spacy
nlp=spacy.load('en')
txt=nlp("hello world")
print(txt)

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

[venkey143228]

Yes ...for me too its working

I did all this
Right clik on the Anaconda Promt Icon
Go to "More" and click on "Open as Administrator"
Then type: python -m spacy download it_core_news_sm
but I have the same error

Hi,

I really need help with the installation of en model. I have successfully installed spacy using the following command:

sudo conda install -c conda-forge spacy (since everyone suggested to login as administrator)

But when I want to install the en model using the following command:

sudo python -m spacy download en

I received the following errors:

[masterchop]

Thanks,

@ClaudeCoulombe try this in your terminal

python -m spacy download en

does that work?

Thanks,it works for me.

No it says it can't link

You need to do sudo python -m spacy download en

[mario-marques]

It worked for me too, thank you!

[RyanBe123]

I tried all the methods above and it didn't work, what finally worked for me was ensuring I was installing spacy==2.0.13 (from issue #2849). Now if i spacy.load('en') it works and it links. When I start python in the anaconda prompt box, import spacy and type spacy.load('en') then run it, it works. However, when, I try and run it in my spyder console (3.3.5) using a environment running python 3.6, where Spacy is also installed, I get the same error:

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

Anyone know why there is a discrepnacy between my IPython console on spyder and my anaconda prompt?

[qmeeus]

On linux this worked for me:
First install the module without sudo rights with python -m spacy download nl_core_news_sm
Then, to import it:

import os.path as p
import spacy

env_path = p.join(p.expanduser("~/.local/bin/anaconda3/envs/<env-name>"))
path_to_module = p.join(env_path, "lib/python3.7/site-packages/nl_core_news_sm/nl_core_news_sm-2.1.0")

nlp = spacy.load(path_to_module)

I think this can (and should) be fixed by using the name of the executable to find the module in scipy.load, something like:

import sys, os

def find_model(model_name):
    path_to_env = p.abspath(p.join(sys.executable, "../.."))
    path_to_modules = p.join(path_to_env, f"lib/python{sys.version[:3]}/site-packages")
    path_to_model = p.join(path_to_modules, model_name)
    if not p.exists(path_to_model):
        raise FileNotFoundError(path_to_model)
    model_dir = [d for d in os.listdir(path_to_model) if d.startswith(model_name)][0]
    return p.join(path_to_model, model_dir)

find_model("nl_core_news_sm")

[jakaseptiadi]

i have to try this "python -m spacy download en", but still doesn't work. It says "Download successful but linking failed". Anyone can help me to fix this problem?

[masterchop]

i have to try this "python -m spacy download en", but still doesn't work. It says "Download successful but linking failed". Anyone can help me to fix this problem?

Maybe a permission problem?
also there are different way to get that, you may want to try:

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

[ptiwari2407]

Okay, I had the same problem, but i figured out the solution:
'en_core_web_sm' : us ethis when you're not admin
'en' : can be used when you are admin. .

Linking fails because of admin rights over your system, but it's no big deal you can use the other counter-part.

[kkairu]

python -m spacy download en

@hamelsmu This works perfect on windows running anaconda

[iamamjad]

Try this hopefully it will work on my case i am using mac OS
python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg

[raghav103]

@koliko are you running this code inside the provided docker container? if not, looks like you do not have spacy installed, so you will have to first install spacy

pip install spacy

Sir, I have installed spacy as well but it is still showing that there no module named spacy

[raghav103]

[hamelsmu]

Please search on stack overflow

[marcelogere]

Download successful but linking failed
Creating a shortcut link for 'es' didn't work (maybe you don't have admin
permissions?), but you can still load the model via its full package name: nlp =
spacy.load('es_core_news_sm')
This is how it worked for me!!! Thank you!!!

[SamCurtis111]

This wasnt working for me after trying all of the above solutions.
To make it work I did the following:

1. Right-click on Anaconda prompt -> run as administrator
   1.1) python -m spacy download en
2. Right-click on Spyder -> run as admistrator
   Then once inside spyder (as admin) i was able to:
   import spacy
   nlp = spacy.load('en')

[sowmyaarajan]

Hi, this got resolved when i opened the cmd prompt as an Administrator, kindly open anaconda as an admin and then run the same commands, it should work.

Yes! This works. Open the anaconda env as an administrator.

[Baludatascience]

Hi, if still any one has issue with this, try to download with full name:

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm --user

will work.

[AndrexYT]

Thanks,

@ClaudeCoulombe try this in your terminal

python -m spacy download en

does that work?

Thanks,it works for me.

No it says it can't link

Run console as admin!
