Install spaCy
=============
spaCy is compatible with 64-bit CPython 2.6+/3.3+ and runs on Unix/Linux, OS X
and Windows. Source packages are available via
`pip <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/spacy>`_. Please make sure that
you have a working build enviroment set up. See notes on Ubuntu, macOS/OS X and Windows
for details.

`pip <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/spacy>`_ (source packages only) and
`conda <https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/spacy>`_. Installation requires a working

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.

English and German, named ``en`` and ``de``, are available.

Upgrading spaCy
===============
To upgrade spaCy to the latest release:
pip

.. code:: bash
pip install -U spacy
Sometimes new releases require a new language model. Then you will have to upgrade to
a new model, too. You can also force re-downloading and installing a new language model:
Sometimes new releases require a new language model. Then you will have to
upgrade to a new model, too. You can also force re-downloading and installing a
new language model:
.. code:: bash
python -m spacy.en.download --force
Download model to custom location
---------------------------------
You can specify where ``spacy.en.download`` and ``spacy.de.download`` download
the language model to using the ``--data-path`` or ``-d`` argument:
.. code:: bash
python -m spacy.en.download all --data-path /some/dir
If you choose to download to a custom location, you will need to tell spaCy where to load the model
from in order to use it. You can do this either by calling ``spacy.util.set_data_path()`` before
calling ``spacy.load()``, or by passing a ``path`` argument to the ``spacy.en.English`` or
``spacy.de.German`` constructors.
Download models manually
------------------------
As of v1.6, the models and word vectors are also available as direct downloads
from GitHub, attached to the `releases <https://github.com/explosion/spacy/releases>`_
as ``.tar.gz`` archives.
To install the models manually, first find the default data path. You can use
``spacy.util.get_data_path()`` to find the directory where spaCy will look for
its models, or change the default data path with ``spacy.util.set_data_path()``.
Then simply unpack the archive and place the contained folder in that directory.
You can now load the models via ``spacy.load()``.
Compile from source
===================

You'll need to make sure that you have a development enviroment consisting of a

installed. The compiler part is the trickiest. How to do that depends on your
system. See notes on Ubuntu, OS X and Windows for details.

Instead of the above verbose commands, you can also use the following
`Fabric <http://www.fabfile.org/>`_ commands:
+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ``fab env`` | Create ``virtualenv`` and delete previous one, if it exists. |
+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ``fab make`` | Compile the source. |

| ``fab clean`` | Remove compiled objects, including the generated C++. |
+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ``fab test`` | Run basic tests, aborting after first failure. |

All commands assume that your ``virtualenv`` is located in a directory ``.env``.
If you're using a different directory, you can change it via the environment
variable ``VENV_DIR``, for example:
.. code:: bash
