Exception: Cannot load model.bin

I have got the following error message trying to run a model: 

Exception: fastText: Cannot load model.bin due to C++ extension failed to allocate the memory

The code I have used is the following: 

import wget
from fasttext import load_model

wget.download("https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/fasttext/supervised-models/amazon_review_polarity.bin", 'model.bin')

model = load_model("model.bin")

I have tried to follow this answer: FastText - Cannot load model.bin due to C++ extension failed to allocate the memory but probably I am doing something wrong as the error is still there. Any idea on how to fix it?

Solution

    git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText.git
