Executing python3 command in Jupyter Notebook

Question

I'm working on a NLP project using Jupyter Notebook and Python 3. I use the spacy library for lemmatization. I would like to use the spacy 'en' model. In Python, this would be:

import spacy
nlp = spacy.load('en')

For this to work, I should first download the 'en' model. In command line, this would be:

python3 -m spacy download en

After doing this in command line, it worked well when executing code in Spyder for instance, but not in Jupyter Notebook.

The first idea I had was to use a command like this one in Jupyter Notebook:

!python3 -m spacy download en

as it is possible to use the exclamation mark to execute pip commands in Jupyter Notebook. It did not work out.

The second idea I had was to create a cell with this command:

% bash
python3 -m spacy download en

but it did not work out either.

So my question is: How can I execute this Python3 command so that the spacy 'en' model is downloaded in Jupyter Notebook too ?

I faced same problem. Try this command. I think it will work.

conda install -c spacy spacy

You can do it manually. Copy all spacy folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\Lib\site-packages to C:\Users\Name\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages.
