无法使用 Anaconda 为 Python 安装 spacy

Question

I'm trying to install spacy for Python using Anaconda and I'm getting an odd error message:

python -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
conda install -c conda-forge spacy
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

Error Msg:

  File "<ipython-input-13-1a465315722a>", line 2
    python -m venv .env
                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I've tried several methods and none of them are working.

Any clue how to install this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Instead of creating virtual environment like this. There is an option to create virtual environments in Anaconda with required Python version.

conda create -n myenv python=3.8

To activate it:

source activate myenv   # (in linux, you can use . as a shortcut for "source")
activate myenv          # (in windows - note that you should be in your c:\anaconda2 directory)

Answer 2

Try running these commands into the terminal instead of the Jupyter Notebook cells directly. If you still want to do it that way, make it right by adding a ! in the beginning.

!python -m venv .env
!source .env/bin/activate
!conda install -c conda-forge spacy
!python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
