I am trying to use the English model of spaCy in jyputer notebook (python 3) which runs on a google cloud instance. I have installed spaCy, but my problem is that I cannot install/import its English model.
I have already tried the following codes:
!pip3 install en_core_web_sm
!python -m spacy download en
and many other codes, but none have worked and every time I got a different error. I use spacy hassle-free when I am working on my local machine, but I do not know how to install the English model on a jyputer notebook which runs on cloud. Any suggestions? Thanks!
FYI: when trying: !pip3 install en_core_web_sm,
I get the following error:
Collecting spacy-model-en_core_web_sm

I found the answer thanks to @Dustin Ingram. I should type in:
!python3 -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
If you use python 2, drop "3" from the end of python in the command above!
You can run this within Python as in a Jupyter Notebook via:
import spacy
spacy.cli.download('en_core_web_sm')
