Initially I downloaded two en packages using following statements in anaconda prompt.
python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
But, I kept on getting linkage error and finally running below command helped me to establish link and solved error.
python -m spacy download en
Also make sure you to restart your runtime if working with Jupyter. -PS : If you get linkage error try giving admin previlages.

The answer to your misunderstanding is a Unix concept, softlinks which we could say that in Windows are similar to shortcuts. Let's explain this.
When you spacy download en, spaCy tries to find the best small model that matches your spaCy distribution. The small model that I am talking about defaults to en_core_web_sm which can be found in different variations which correspond to the different spaCy versions (for example spacy, spacy-nightly have en_core_web_sm of different sizes).
When spaCy finds the best model for you, it downloads it and then links the name en to the package it downloaded, e.g. en_core_web_sm. That basically means that whenever you refer to en you will be referring to en_core_web_sm. In other words, en after linking is not a "real" package, is just a name for en_core_web_sm.
However, it doesn't work the other way. You can't refer directly to en_core_web_sm because your system doesn't know you have it installed. When you did spacy download en you basically did a pip install. So pip knows that you have a package named en installed for your python distribution, but knows nothing about the package en_core_web_sm. This package is just replacing package en when you import it, which means that package en is just a softlink to en_core_web_sm.
Of course, you can directly download en_core_web_sm, using the command: python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm, or you can even link the name en to other models as well. For example, you could do python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg and then python -m spacy link en_core_web_lg en. That would make
en a name for en_core_web_lg, which is a large spaCy model for the English language.

Hello @Tinniam V Ganesh ,
Apologize for the delay in response.
As per the repro from our end it's working as expected without any error message:
- Cluster - 9.1 LTS (includes Apache Spark 3.1.2, Scala 2.12)
- Python - 3.8.10
- spaCy version 3.3
I'm able to run without any issue:
For more details, refer to NLP with Python and spaCy - First Steps(Python).
Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.

Hi @PRADEEPCHEEKATLA
Here are the details
Cluster - 9.1 LTS (includes Apache Spark 3.1.2, Scala 2.12)
Python - 3.8.10
spaCy version 3.3
Code snippet
import spacy
!python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
from spacy import displacy
nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
# Process whole documents
text = ("When Sebastian Thrun started working on self-driving cars at "
"Google in 2007, few people outside of the company took him "
"seriously. “I can tell you very senior CEOs of major American "
"car companies would shake my hand and turn away because I wasn’t "
"worth talking to,” said Thrun, in an interview with Recode earlier "
"this week.")
doc = nlp(text)
The error I get is "OSError: [E050] Can't find model 'en_core_web_sm'. It doesn't seem to be a Python package or a valid path to a data directory."
I also see these messages. I don't know if it is relevant
/databricks/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/spacy/util.py:845: UserWarning: [W094] Model 'en_core_web_sm' (2.2.5) specifies an under-constrained spaCy version requirement: >=2.2.2. This can lead to compatibility problems with older versions, or as new spaCy versions are released, because the model may say it's compatible when it's not. Consider changing the "spacy_version" in your meta.json to a version range, with a lower and upper pin. For example: >=3.3.0,<3.4.0 warnings.warn(warn_msg)
Also the message when installing 'en_core_web_sm"
"Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable"
As I had mentioned, this worked briefly and then stopped.
FINALLY CLEARED THE ERROR !!!
Best Way to Install now
pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
pip install -U spacy
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
Always Open Anaconda Prompt / Command Prompt with Admin Rights to avoid Linking errors!!!
Tried multiple options including :
python -m spacy download enconda install -c conda-forge spacypython -m spacy download en_core_web_smpython -m spacy link en_core_web_sm enNone worked since im using my Company's Network. Finally this Command Worked like a Charm :-)
pip 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-deps- Updated with Latest Link :
pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.3.1/en_core_web_sm-2.3.1.tar.gz --no-deps
Thanks to the Updated Github Links :-)
By using sudo python ... you install the model for a different python interpreter than your local one. In fact, it says in your log that the spaCy model is installed to /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ instead of /scratch/sjn/anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/.
Try running python -m spacy download en and it should install the model to the correct directory.
If you're using anaconda, you need to activate your conda environment before downloading the en_core_web_sm model.
If you don't have an anaconda environment, first run
conda create -n $envName, replacing$envNamewith whatever name you want.Activate your environment with
conda activate $envName(again, replace the variable with whatever you put in step 1.Then install spacy with
conda install spacy.Finally, run
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm.
Now, when you import spacy and try to load the model, it should work.
Just give this command. Change the version accordingly.
pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-3.5.0/en_core_web_sm-3.5.0.tar.gz
Hi guys
So i am new to python and trying to work in pycharm with some sentiment analysis. I keep getting this error though and was wondering if anyone knows how to solve it?
This is my execution:
import spacy
import en_core_web_sm
nlps = spacy.load('en-core-web-sm')
And i am getting this:
[W031] Model 'en_core_web_sm' (2.2.5) requires spaCy v2.2 and is incompatible with the current spaCy version (2.3.3). This may lead to unexpected results or runtime errors. To resolve this, download a newer compatible model or retrain your custom model with the current spaCy version. For more details and available updates, run: python -m spacy validate
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\y\PycharmProjects\pythonProject1\main.py", line 30, in <module>
nlps = spacy.load('en-core-web-sm')
File "C:\Users\y\PycharmProjects\pythonProject1\venv\lib\site-packages\spacy\__init__.py", line 30, in load
return util.load_model(name, **overrides)
File "C:\Users\y\PycharmProjects\pythonProject1\venv\lib\site-packages\spacy\util.py", line 175, in load_model
raise IOError(Errors.E050.format(name=name))
OSError: [E050] Can't find model 'en-core-web-sm'. It doesn't seem to be a shortcut link, a Python package or a valid path to a data directory.
I don't understand how the package requires, spaCy 2,2 (which doesn't exist in Pycharm), but it also says that the models doesnt exist, despite me just installing it.
Any help?
Spyder was the villain.
All packages were correctly installed on the virtual environment, but Spyder was not running that environment (even if the IDE was launched with the spyder command from a terminal where the environment was in fact activated).
In order to make Spyder run the correct environment, you needed to change the Python interpreter in the Spyder preferences:
... and then restart the kernel.
I got an error prompting me to pip install spyder-kernels==2.1.*, but once that was done (make sure to do it on the right venv), I restarted Spyder, and it finally worked!
See discussions in thread: https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/discussions/10895.
I think it is not taking the good path of the enviroment.
In a terminal exceute which python , and you have to validate is taking the enviorement paths.
