spaCy's CLI provides a range of helpful commands for downloading and training
pipelines, converting data and debugging your config, data and installation. For
a list of available commands, you can type `python -m spacy --help`. You can
also add the `--help` flag to any command or subcommand to see the description,
2020-08-16 13:46:29 +00:00
available arguments and usage.
2020-08-17 19:38:20 +00:00
## download {#download tag="command"}
Download [trained pipelines](/usage/models) for spaCy. The downloader finds the
best-matching compatible version and uses `pip install` to download the Python
package. Direct downloads don't perform any compatibility checks and require the
pipeline name to be specified with its version (e.g. `en_core_web_sm-2.2.0`).
> #### Downloading best practices
>
> The `download` command is mostly intended as a convenient, interactive wrapper
> it performs compatibility checks and prints detailed messages in case things
> go wrong. It's **not recommended** to use this command as part of an automated
> process. If you know which package your project needs, you should consider a
> [direct download via pip](/usage/models#download-pip), or uploading the
> package to a local PyPi installation and fetching it straight from there. This
> will also allow you to add it as a versioned package dependency to your
> project.
2020-08-18 22:28:37 +00:00

## validate {#validate new="2" tag="command"}
Find all trained pipeline packages installed in the current environment and
check whether they are compatible with the currently installed version of spaCy.
Should be run after upgrading spaCy via `pip install -U spacy` to ensure that
all installed packages can be used with the new version. It will show a list of
packages and their installed versions. If any package is out of date, the latest
compatible versions and command for updating are shown.
> #### Automated validation
>
> You can also use the `validate` command as part of your build process or test
> suite, to ensure all packages are up to date before proceeding. If
> incompatible packages are found, it will return `1`.

## init {#init new="3"}
The `spacy init` CLI includes helpful commands for initializing training config
files and pipeline directories.
2020-08-17 19:38:20 +00:00
### init config {#init-config new="3" tag="command"}
2020-08-15 12:50:29 +00:00
Initialize and save a [`config.cfg` file](/usage/training#config) using the
**recommended settings** for your use case. It works just like the
[quickstart widget](/usage/training#quickstart), only that it also auto-fills
all default values and exports a [training](/usage/training#config)-ready
config. The settings you specify will impact the suggested model architectures
and pipeline setup, as well as the hyperparameters. You can also adjust and
customize those settings in your config file later.
2020-08-18 22:28:37 +00:00
> #### Example
>
> ```cli
2020-08-15 12:50:29 +00:00
> $ python -m spacy init config config.cfg --lang en --pipeline ner,textcat --optimize accuracy
> ```
2020-08-15 12:50:29 +00:00
2020-08-18 22:28:37 +00:00
```cli
$ python -m spacy init config [output_file] [--lang] [--pipeline] [--optimize] [--cpu] [--pretraining]
2020-08-15 12:50:29 +00:00
```
2020-09-17 14:15:20 +00:00
| Name | Description |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `output_file` | Path to output `.cfg` file or `-` to write the config to stdout (so you can pipe it forward to a file). Note that if you're writing to stdout, no additional logging info is printed. ~~Path (positional)~~ |
| `--lang`, `-l` | Optional code of the [language](/usage/models#languages) to use. Defaults to `"en"`. ~~str (option)~~ |
| `--pipeline`, `-p` | Comma-separated list of trainable [pipeline components](/usage/processing-pipelines#built-in) to include. Defaults to `"tagger,parser,ner"`. ~~str (option)~~ |
| `--optimize`, `-o` | `"efficiency"` or `"accuracy"`. Whether to optimize for efficiency (faster inference, smaller model, lower memory consumption) or higher accuracy (potentially larger and slower model). This will impact the choice of architecture, pretrained weights and related hyperparameters. Defaults to `"efficiency"`. ~~str (option)~~ |
| `--cpu`, `-C` | Whether the model needs to run on CPU. This will impact the choice of architecture, pretrained weights and related hyperparameters. ~~bool (flag)~~ |
2020-09-17 14:58:46 +00:00
| `--pretraining`, `-pt` | Include config for pretraining (with [`spacy pretrain`](/api/cli#pretrain)). Defaults to `False`. ~~bool (flag)~~ |
2020-09-17 14:15:20 +00:00
| `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ |
| **CREATES** | The config file for training. |
2020-08-15 12:50:29 +00:00
### init fill-config {#init-fill-config new="3"}
Auto-fill a partial [`config.cfg` file](/usage/training#config) file with **all
default values**, e.g. a config generated with the
[quickstart widget](/usage/training#quickstart). Config files used for training
should always be complete and not contain any hidden defaults or missing values,
so this command helps you create your final training config. In order to find
the available settings and defaults, all functions referenced in the config will
be created, and their signatures are used to find the defaults. If your config
contains a problem that can't be resolved automatically, spaCy will show you a
validation error with more details.

with spaCy. Will export an `nlp` object that you can use in the
[`[initialize]`](/api/data-formats#config-initialize) block of your config to
initialize a model with vectors. See the usage guide on
[static vectors](/usage/embeddings-transformers#static-vectors) for details on
how to use vectors in your model.
<Infobox title="New in v3.0" variant="warning" id="init-model">
2020-10-01 10:15:53 +00:00

### init labels {#init-labels new="3" tag="command"}
Generate JSON files for the labels in the data. This helps speed up the training
process, since spaCy won't have to preprocess the data to extract the labels.
After generating the labels, you can provide them to components that accept a
`labels` argument on initialization via the
[`[initialize]`](/api/data-formats#config-initialize) block of your config.
> #### Example config

The `spacy debug` CLI includes helpful commands for debugging and profiling your
configs, data and implementations.
2020-08-17 19:38:20 +00:00
### debug config {#debug-config new="3" tag="command"}
2020-07-12 11:53:49 +00:00
Debug a [`config.cfg` file](/usage/training#config) and show validation errors.
The command will create all objects in the tree and validate them. Note that
some config validation errors are blocking and will prevent the rest of the
config from being resolved. This means that you may not see all validation
errors at once and some issues are only shown once previous errors have been
2020-08-06 11:10:15 +00:00
fixed. To auto-fill a partial config and save the result, you can use the
2020-08-27 16:17:58 +00:00
[`init fill-config`](/api/cli#init-fill-config) command.
2020-08-18 22:28:37 +00:00

To train a parser, your data should include at least 20 instances of each label.
⚠ Multiple root labels (ROOT, nsubj, aux, npadvmod, prep) found in
training data. spaCy's parser uses a single root label ROOT so this distinction
will not be available.

In this example log, we see how initialization of the model (Step 1) propagates
the correct values for the `nI` (input) and `nO` (output) dimensions of the
various layers. In the `softmax` layer, this step also defines the `W` matrix as
an all-zero matrix determined by the `nO` and `nI` dimensions. After a first
training step (Step 2), this matrix has clearly updated its values through the
training feedback loop.

## train {#train tag="command"}
Train a pipeline. Expects data in spaCy's
2020-07-09 17:43:25 +00:00
[binary format](/api/data-formats#training) and a
[config file](/api/data-formats#config) with all settings and hyperparameters.
Will save out the best model from all epochs, as well as the final pipeline. The
2020-07-09 17:43:25 +00:00
`--code` argument can be used to provide a Python file that's imported before
the training process starts. This lets you register
[custom functions](/usage/training#custom-functions) and architectures and refer
to them in your config, all while still using spaCy's built-in `train` workflow.
If you need to manage complex multi-step training workflows, check out the new

[spaCy projects](/usage/projects).
<Infobox title="New in v3.0" variant="warning">

The `train` command doesn't take a long list of command-line arguments anymore
and instead expects a single [`config.cfg` file](/usage/training#config)
containing all settings for the pipeline, training process and hyperparameters.
2020-08-06 11:10:15 +00:00
Config values can be [overwritten](/usage/training#config-overrides) on the CLI
if needed. For example, `--paths.train ./train.spacy` sets the variable `train`
in the section `[paths]`.

## pretrain {#pretrain new="2.1" tag="command,experimental"}
2020-08-09 20:31:52 +00:00
Pretrain the "token to vector" ([`Tok2vec`](/api/tok2vec)) layer of pipeline
2020-08-06 17:30:43 +00:00
components on [raw text](/api/data-formats#pretrain), using an approximate
language-modeling objective. Specifically, we load pretrained vectors, and train
a component like a CNN, BiLSTM, etc to predict vectors which match the
pretrained ones. The weights are saved to a directory after each epoch. You can
then include a **path to one of these pretrained weights files** in your
[training config](/usage/training#config) as the `init_tok2vec` setting when you
train your pipeline. This technique may be especially helpful if you have little
labelled data. See the usage docs on
[pretraining](/usage/embeddings-transformers#pretraining) for more info.
2020-07-12 11:53:49 +00:00
<Infobox title="Changed in v3.0" variant="warning">
As of spaCy v3.0, the `pretrain` command takes the same

## evaluate {#evaluate new="2" tag="command"}
Evaluate a trained pipeline. Expects a loadable spaCy pipeline (package name or
path) and evaluation data in the
[binary `.spacy` format](/api/data-formats#binary-training). The
`--gold-preproc` option sets up the evaluation examples with gold-standard
sentences and tokens for the predictions. Gold preprocessing helps the
annotations align to the tokenization, and may result in sequences of more
consistent length. However, it may reduce runtime accuracy due to train/test
skew. To render a sample of dependency parses in a HTML file using the
[displaCy visualizations](/usage/visualizers), set as output directory as the
`--displacy-path` argument.

2020-08-17 19:38:20 +00:00
## package {#package tag="command"}
Generate an installable [Python package](/usage/training#models-generating) from
an existing pipeline data directory. All data files are copied over. If the path
to a [`meta.json`](/api/data-formats#meta) is supplied, or a `meta.json` is
found in the input directory, this file is used. Otherwise, the data can be
entered directly from the command line. spaCy will then create a `.tar.gz`
archive file that you can distribute and install with `pip install`.
2020-07-04 12:23:10 +00:00
<Infobox title="New in v3.0" variant="warning">
The `spacy package` command now also builds the `.tar.gz` archive automatically,
so you don't have to run `python setup.py sdist` separately anymore. To disable
this, you can set the `--no-sdist` flag.

Clone a project template from a Git repository. Calls into `git` under the hood
2020-09-14 22:32:49 +00:00
and can use the sparse checkout feature if available, so you're only downloading

Fetch project assets like datasets and pretrained weights. Assets are defined in
the `assets` section of the [`project.yml`](/usage/projects#project-yml). If a
`checksum` is provided, the file is only downloaded if no local file with the
same checksum exists and spaCy will show an error if the checksum of the
downloaded file doesn't match. If assets don't specify a `url` they're
considered "private" and you have to take care of putting them into the
destination directory yourself. If a local path is provided, the asset is copied
into the current project.

Run a named command or workflow defined in the
[`project.yml`](/usage/projects#project-yml). If a workflow name is specified,
all commands in the workflow are run, in order. If commands define
[dependencies or outputs](/usage/projects#deps-outputs), they will only be
re-run if state has changed. For example, if the input dataset changes, a
preprocessing command that depends on those files will be re-run.

2020-07-09 17:43:25 +00:00
### project push {#project-push tag="command"}
Upload all available files or directories listed as in the `outputs` section of
commands to a remote storage. Outputs are archived and compressed prior to
upload, and addressed in the remote storage using the output's relative path
(URL encoded), a hash of its command string and dependencies, and a hash of its
file contents. This means `push` should **never overwrite** a file in your
remote. If all the hashes match, the contents are the same and nothing happens.
If the contents are different, the new version of the file is uploaded. Deleting
obsolete files is left up to you.
Remotes can be defined in the `remotes` section of the
[`project.yml`](/usage/projects#project-yml). Under the hood, spaCy uses the
[`smart-open`](https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/smart_open) library to
communicate with the remote storages, so you can use any protocol that
`smart-open` supports, including [S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/),
[Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage), SSH and more, although
you may need to install extra dependencies to use certain protocols.
```cli
$ python -m spacy project push [remote] [project_dir]
```
> #### Example
>
> ```cli
> $ python -m spacy project push my_bucket
> ```
>
> ```yaml
> ### project.yml
> remotes:
> my_bucket: 's3://my-spacy-bucket'

| Name | Description |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `remote` | The name of the remote to upload to. Defaults to `"default"`. ~~str (positional)~~ |
| `project_dir` | Path to project directory. Defaults to current working directory. ~~Path (positional)~~ |
| `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ |
| **UPLOADS** | All project outputs that exist and are not already stored in the remote. |
### project pull {#project-pull tag="command"}
Download all files or directories listed as `outputs` for commands, unless they
are not already present locally. When searching for files in the remote, `pull`
won't just look at the output path, but will also consider the **command
string** and the **hashes of the dependencies**. For instance, let's say you've
previously pushed a checkpoint to the remote, but now you've changed some
hyper-parameters. Because you've changed the inputs to the command, if you run
`pull`, you won't retrieve the stale result. If you train your pipeline and push
the outputs to the remote, the outputs will be saved alongside the prior
outputs, so if you change the config back, you'll be able to fetch back the
result.
Remotes can be defined in the `remotes` section of the
[`project.yml`](/usage/projects#project-yml). Under the hood, spaCy uses the
[`smart-open`](https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/smart_open) library to

### project document {#project-document tag="command"}
Auto-generate a pretty Markdown-formatted `README` for your project, based on
its [`project.yml`](/usage/projects#project-yml). Will create sections that
document the available commands, workflows and assets. The auto-generated
content will be placed between two hidden markers, so you can add your own
custom content before or after the auto-generated documentation. When you re-run
the `project document` command, only the auto-generated part is replaced.

### project dvc {#project-dvc tag="command"}
2020-07-09 17:43:25 +00:00
Auto-generate [Data Version Control](https://dvc.org) (DVC) config file. Calls
[`dvc run`](https://dvc.org/doc/command-reference/run) with `--no-exec` under
the hood to generate the `dvc.yaml`. A DVC project can only define one pipeline,
so you need to specify one workflow defined in the
[`project.yml`](/usage/projects#project-yml). If no workflow is specified, the
first defined workflow is used. The DVC config will only be updated if the
`project.yml` changed. For details, see the
[DVC integration](/usage/projects#dvc) docs.
<Infobox variant="warning">
This command requires DVC to be installed and initialized in the project
directory, e.g. via [`dvc init`](https://dvc.org/doc/command-reference/init).
You'll also need to add the assets you want to track with
[`dvc add`](https://dvc.org/doc/command-reference/add).
