Jupiter notebook kernel dies when importing spacy

Question

I am currently trying to import spaCy version 3.0.6 in a Jupiter notebook with the following code:

import spacy

But my kernel dies and I get the following message:

I tried updating conda and anaconda with condo update conda and condo update anaconda , but the issue persists. I also tried updating h5py and ipykernel. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling spacy. These were some solutions I found online but the problem persists. I am running this on a macOS with M1 chip. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I had the same issue before. I tried to create a conda Env, install spacy packages there and add it to my jupyter notebook. Then run the jupyter notebook in that new conda Env then it works.
