Default pip/conda installation version is 0.101

I spent a chunk of time struggling to install spaCy earlier - getting the below error: No module named spacy.__main__; 'spacy' is a package and cannot be directly executed

This would appear after an apparently successful install (either through pip or conda) when trying to download models or even run python -m spacy info.

After some time I noticed that by default it was installing spacy-0.101.0. After explicitly getting conda to install the current latest version of spaCy (2.0.11), I no longer experienced any of these issues.

Just bringing this to your attention in case it can be rectified, or at least save time for others experiencing similar issues!

No worries! This is a new laptop, and actually my first time using spaCy too so I can pretty comfortably rule out the presence of any previous spaCy installations.

Find the most recent version of spaCy on conda: conda search -f spacy

Find the most recent version on pip (the only way I know to see available versions of a package on pip is to specify a nonsense version and then it will list all available versions of the specified package): pip install spacy==random_words

Then either run conda install spacy=NEWEST_VERSION or pip install spacy=NEWEST_VERSION (in my case I installed 2.0.11)
