spaCy - Download Command
As name implies, this command is used to download models for spacy. It works by finding the best-matching compatible version. Then, it uses the pip install command to download the model as a package. If the model was downloaded via a shortcut, this command will also create a shortcut link.
The download command is convenient, and is an interactive wrapper as compared to direct download because, it performs compatibility checks while downloading the models. It also prints detailed messages in case if the things go wrong.
The download command is as follows −
python -m spacy download [model] [--direct] [pip args]
Arguments
The table below explains its arguments −
| ARGUMENT | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
