Error installing spaCy

See original GitHub issue

I installed spacy using

sudo pip install spacy

Within Python version 2.7.11, I try

>>> import spacy

and the following error is returned:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Trying within the Terminal

python -m spacy.en.download --force all

outputs

    /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: No module named spacy.en

I’m having a similar problem while installing spacy. As I’m working with python3 in pycharm, I tried: python3 -m spacy.en.download --force all

Spacy seems to be installed on the system: $ pip list | grep spacy spacy (1.9.0)

But when I run my code, I get following error: ImportError: No module named 'spacy'

I already tried running the installation from the anaconda folder, using: conda install -c conda-forge spacy=1.9.0

But it doesn’t seem to work… Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?

Apologies for the inconvenience.

My pip is actually set to Python 3.4 (I expected that to be pip3).

Therefore, I should use

python3 -m spacy.en.download --force all

Please close. Sorry, I am a fool.
