| Install spaCy v#{spacy_version}
+section('install-pip-virtualenv')
+h3('install-pip-virtualenv')
| pip and virtualenv
p.
With Python 2.7 or Python 3, using Linux or OSX, ensure that you have
the packages #[code build-essential] and #[code python-dev] installed.
Then run:
+code('bash').
pip install spacy
python -m spacy.en.download
p.
The download command fetches and installs about 500mb of data, for the
parser model and word vectors, which it installs within the spacy
package directory. Usually you'll want to install spaCy within a
#[a(href='https://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/' target='_blank') virtualenv],
to avoid modifying system state:
+code('bash').
virtualenv my_env_dir
source my_env_dir/bin/activate
+section('install-conda')
+h3('install-conda')
| conda
+code('bash').
conda config --add channels spacy
conda install spacy
python -m spacy.en.download
p.
Sometimes conda is not up to date with the latest release. If you
can't get the latest version on conda, you can always fall back to the
pip install.
+section('install-windows')
+h3('install-windows')
| Windows (64 bit)
p.
We've been working on Windows support. Our tests now succeed on 64 bit
builds of Windows. Installation from pip should work if you have a C++
compiler installed. Please see the README-MSVC.txt file for instructions
on compiling from source.
+section('install-update')
+h3('install-update')
| Updating your installation
p.
To update your installation:
+code('bash').
pip install --upgrade spacy
python -m spacy.en.download
p.
Most updates ship a new model, so you will usually have to redownload
the data.
+section('install-obsolete-python')
+h3('install-obsolete-python')
| Workaround for obsolete system Python
p.
If you're stuck using a server with an old version of Python, and you
don't have root access, we've prepared a bootstrap script to help you
compile a local Python install. Run:
+code('bash')
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spacy-io/gist/master/bootstrap_python_env.sh | bash && source .env/bin/activate
+section('install-compile')
+h3('install-compile')
| Compile from source
p.
The other way to install the package is to clone the github repository,
and build it from source. This installs an additional dependency, Cython.
If you're using Python 2, we also recommend installing fabric and
fabtools this is how we build the project. Ensure that you have the
packages #[code build-essential], #[code python-dev], #[code git] and
#[code python-virtualenv] installed.
+code('bash')
git clone https://github.com/spacy-io/spaCy.git
cd spaCy
virtualenv .env && source .env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
python -m spacy.en.download
pip install pytest
python -m pytest spacy
p.
Python packaging is awkward at the best of times, and it's particularly
tricky with C extensions, built via Cython, requiring large data files.
So, please report issues as you encounter them.
+section('install-pypy')
+h3('install-pypy')
| pypy (unsupported)
p.
If PyPy support is a priority for you, please get in touch. We could
likely fix the remaining issues, if necessary. However, the library
is likely to be much slower on PyPy, as it's written in Cython, which
produces code tuned for the performance of CPython.
