--- title: Command Line Interface teaser: Download, train and package pipelines, and debug spaCy source: spacy/cli menu: - ['download', 'download'] - ['info', 'info'] - ['validate', 'validate'] - ['init', 'init'] - ['convert', 'convert'] - ['debug', 'debug'] - ['train', 'train'] - ['pretrain', 'pretrain'] - ['evaluate', 'evaluate'] - ['apply', 'apply'] - ['find-threshold', 'find-threshold'] - ['assemble', 'assemble'] - ['package', 'package'] - ['project', 'project'] - ['huggingface-hub', 'huggingface-hub'] --- 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, available arguments and usage. ## 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-3.0.0`). > #### 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. ```cli $ python -m spacy download [model] [--direct] [--sdist] [pip_args] ``` | Name | Description | | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `model` | Pipeline package name, e.g. [`en_core_web_sm`](/models/en#en_core_web_sm). ~~str (positional)~~ | | `--direct`, `-D` | Force direct download of exact package version. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--sdist`, `-S` 3 | Download the source package (`.tar.gz` archive) instead of the default pre-built binary wheel. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | pip args | Additional installation options to be passed to `pip install` when installing the pipeline package. For example, `--user` to install to the user home directory or `--no-deps` to not install package dependencies. ~~Any (option/flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | The installed pipeline package in your `site-packages` directory. | ## info {#info tag="command"} Print information about your spaCy installation, trained pipelines and local setup, and generate [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown)-formatted markup to copy-paste into [GitHub issues](https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/issues). ```cli $ python -m spacy info [--markdown] [--silent] [--exclude] ``` > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy info en_core_web_lg --markdown > ``` ```cli $ python -m spacy info [model] [--markdown] [--silent] [--exclude] ``` | Name | Description | | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `model` | A trained pipeline, i.e. package name or path (optional). ~~Optional[str] \(option)~~ | | `--markdown`, `-md` | Print information as Markdown. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--silent`, `-s` | Don't print anything, just return the values. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--exclude`, `-e` | Comma-separated keys to exclude from the print-out. Defaults to `"labels"`. ~~Optional[str]~~ | | `--url`, `-u` 3.5.0 | Print the URL to download the most recent compatible version of the pipeline. Requires a pipeline name. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **PRINTS** | Information about your spaCy installation. | ## 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`. ```cli $ python -m spacy validate ``` | Name | Description | | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **PRINTS** | Details about the compatibility of your installed pipeline packages. | ## init {#init new="3"} The `spacy init` CLI includes helpful commands for initializing training config files and pipeline directories. ### init config {#init-config new="3" tag="command"} 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. > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy init config config.cfg --lang en --pipeline ner,textcat --optimize accuracy > ``` ```cli $ python -m spacy init config [output_file] [--lang] [--pipeline] [--optimize] [--gpu] [--pretraining] [--force] ``` | 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 or to the `train` command). 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)~~ | | `--gpu`, `-G` | Whether the model can run on GPU. This will impact the choice of architecture, pretrained weights and related hyperparameters. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--pretraining`, `-pt` | Include config for pretraining (with [`spacy pretrain`](/api/cli#pretrain)). Defaults to `False`. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--force`, `-f` | Force overwriting the output file if it already exists. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | The config file for training. | ### init fill-config {#init-fill-config new="3"} Auto-fill a partial [.cfg file](/usage/training#config) 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. > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy init fill-config base.cfg config.cfg --diff > ``` > > #### Example diff > > ![Screenshot of visual diff in terminal](../images/cli_init_fill-config_diff.jpg) ```cli $ python -m spacy init fill-config [base_path] [output_file] [--diff] ``` | Name | Description | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `base_path` | Path to base config to fill, e.g. generated by the [quickstart widget](/usage/training#quickstart). ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `output_file` | Path to output `.cfg` file or "-" to write to stdout so you can pipe it to a file. Defaults to "-" (stdout). ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `--code`, `-c` | Path to Python file with additional code to be imported. Allows [registering custom functions](/usage/training#custom-functions) for new architectures. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--pretraining`, `-pt` | Include config for pretraining (with [`spacy pretrain`](/api/cli#pretrain)). Defaults to `False`. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--diff`, `-D` | Print a visual diff highlighting the changes. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | Complete and auto-filled config file for training. | ### init vectors {#init-vectors new="3" tag="command"} Convert [word vectors](/usage/linguistic-features#vectors-similarity) for use 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. This functionality was previously available as part of the command `init-model`. ```cli $ python -m spacy init vectors [lang] [vectors_loc] [output_dir] [--prune] [--truncate] [--name] [--verbose] ``` | Name | Description | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `lang` | Pipeline language [IETF language tag](https://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/), such as `en`. ~~str (positional)~~ | | `vectors_loc` | Location of vectors. Should be a file where the first row contains the dimensions of the vectors, followed by a space-separated Word2Vec table. File can be provided in `.txt` format or as a zipped text file in `.zip` or `.tar.gz` format. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `output_dir` | Pipeline output directory. Will be created if it doesn't exist. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `--truncate`, `-t` | Number of vectors to truncate to when reading in vectors file. Defaults to `0` for no truncation. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--prune`, `-p` | Number of vectors to prune the vocabulary to. Defaults to `-1` for no pruning. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--mode`, `-m` | Vectors mode: `default` or [`floret`](https://github.com/explosion/floret). Defaults to `default`. ~~Optional[str] \(option)~~ | | `--name`, `-n` | Name to assign to the word vectors in the `meta.json`, e.g. `en_core_web_md.vectors`. ~~Optional[str] \(option)~~ | | `--verbose`, `-V` | Print additional information and explanations. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | A spaCy pipeline directory containing the vocab and vectors. | ### 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 > > ```ini > [initialize.components.ner] > > [initialize.components.ner.labels] > @readers = "spacy.read_labels.v1" > path = "corpus/labels/ner.json > ``` ```cli $ python -m spacy init labels [config_path] [output_path] [--code] [--verbose] [--gpu-id] [overrides] ``` | Name | Description | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `config_path` | Path to [training config](/api/data-formats#config) file containing all settings and hyperparameters. If `-`, the data will be [read from stdin](/usage/training#config-stdin). ~~Union[Path, str] \(positional)~~ | | `output_path` | Output directory for the label files. Will create one JSON file per component. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `--code`, `-c` | Path to Python file with additional code to be imported. Allows [registering custom functions](/usage/training#custom-functions) for new architectures. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--verbose`, `-V` | Show more detailed messages for debugging purposes. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--gpu-id`, `-g` | GPU ID or `-1` for CPU. Defaults to `-1`. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | overrides | Config parameters to override. Should be options starting with `--` that correspond to the config section and value to override, e.g. `--paths.train ./train.spacy`. ~~Any (option/flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | The label files. | ## convert {#convert tag="command"} Convert files into spaCy's [binary training data format](/api/data-formats#binary-training), a serialized [`DocBin`](/api/docbin), for use with the `train` command and other experiment management functions. The converter can be specified on the command line, or chosen based on the file extension of the input file. ```cli $ python -m spacy convert [input_file] [output_dir] [--converter] [--file-type] [--n-sents] [--seg-sents] [--base] [--morphology] [--merge-subtokens] [--ner-map] [--lang] ``` | Name | Description | | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `input_path` | Input file or directory. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `output_dir` | Output directory for converted file.

Either `spacy` (default) for binary [`DocBin`](/api/docbin) data or `json` for v2.x JSON format. ~~str (option)~~ | | `--n-sents`, `-n` | Number of sentences per document. Supported for: `conll`, `conllu`, `iob`, `ner` ~~int (option)~~ | | `--seg-sents`, `-s` | Segment sentences. Supported for: `conll`, `ner` ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--base`, `-b`, `--model` | Trained spaCy pipeline for sentence segmentation to use as base (for `--seg-sents`). ~~Optional[str](option)~~ | | `--morphology`, `-m` | Enable appending morphology to tags. Supported for: `conllu` ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--merge-subtokens`, `-T` | Merge CoNLL-U subtokens ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--ner-map`, `-nm` | NER tag mapping (as JSON-encoded dict of entity types).

The first column is the token and the final column is the NER tag. Sentences are separated by blank lines and documents are separated by the line `-DOCSTART- -X- O O`. Supports CoNLL 2003 NER format. See [sample data](%%GITHUB_SPACY/extra/example_data/ner_example_data). | | `iob` | NER with IOB/IOB2/BILUO tags, one sentence per line with tokens separated by whitespace and annotation separated by `\|`, either `word\|B-ENT`or`word\|POS\|B-ENT`. See [sample data](%%GITHUB_SPACY/extra/example_data/ner_example_data). | ## debug {#debug new="3"} The `spacy debug` CLI includes helpful commands for debugging and profiling your configs, data and implementations. ### debug config {#debug-config new="3" tag="command"} 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 fixed. To auto-fill a partial config and save the result, you can use the [`init fill-config`](/api/cli#init-fill-config) command. ```cli $ python -m spacy debug config [config_path] [--code] [--show-functions] [--show-variables] [overrides] ``` > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy debug config config.cfg > ``` ``` ✘ Config validation error dropout field required optimizer field required optimize extra fields not permitted {'seed': 0, 'accumulate_gradient': 1, 'dev_corpus': 'corpora.dev', 'train_corpus': 'corpora.train', 'gpu_allocator': None, 'patience': 1600, 'max_epochs': 0, 'max_steps': 20000, 'eval_frequency': 200, 'frozen_components': [], 'optimize': None, 'before_to_disk': None, 'batcher': {'@batchers': 'spacy.batch_by_words.v1', 'discard_oversize': False, 'tolerance': 0.2, 'get_length': None, 'size': {'@schedules': 'compounding.v1', 'start': 100, 'stop': 1000, 'compound': 1.001, 't': 0.0}}, 'logger': {'@loggers': 'spacy.ConsoleLogger.v1', 'progress_bar': False}, 'score_weights': {'tag_acc': 0.5, 'dep_uas': 0.25, 'dep_las': 0.25, 'sents_f': 0.0}} If your config contains missing values, you can run the 'init fill-config' command to fill in all the defaults, if possible: python -m spacy init fill-config tmp/starter-config_invalid.cfg tmp/starter-config_invalid.cfg ``` ```cli $ python -m spacy debug config ./config.cfg --show-functions --show-variables ``` ``` ============================= Config validation ============================= ✔ Config is valid =============================== Variables (6) =============================== Variable Value ----------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- ${components.tok2vec.model.encode.width} 96 ${paths.dev} 'hello' ${paths.init_tok2vec} None ${paths.raw} None ${paths.train} '' ${system.seed} 0 ========================= Registered functions (17) ========================= ℹ [nlp.tokenizer] Registry @tokenizers Name spacy.Tokenizer.v1 Module spacy.language File /path/to/spacy/language.py (line 64) ℹ [components.ner.model] Registry @architectures Name spacy.TransitionBasedParser.v1 Module spacy.ml.models.parser File /path/to/spacy/ml/models/parser.py (line 11) ℹ [components.ner.model.tok2vec] Registry @architectures Name spacy.Tok2VecListener.v1 Module spacy.ml.models.tok2vec File /path/to/spacy/ml/models/tok2vec.py (line 16) ℹ [components.parser.model] Registry @architectures Name spacy.TransitionBasedParser.v1 Module spacy.ml.models.parser File /path/to/spacy/ml/models/parser.py (line 11) ℹ [components.parser.model.tok2vec] Registry @architectures Name spacy.Tok2VecListener.v1 Module spacy.ml.models.tok2vec File /path/to/spacy/ml/models/tok2vec.py (line 16) ℹ [components.tagger.model] Registry @architectures Name spacy.Tagger.v1 Module spacy.ml.models.tagger File /path/to/spacy/ml/models/tagger.py (line 9) ℹ [components.tagger.model.tok2vec] Registry @architectures Name spacy.Tok2VecListener.v1 Module spacy.ml.models.tok2vec File /path/to/spacy/ml/models/tok2vec.py (line 16) ℹ [components.tok2vec.model] Registry @architectures Name spacy.Tok2Vec.v1 Module spacy.ml.models.tok2vec File /path/to/spacy/ml/models/tok2vec.py (line 72) ℹ [components.tok2vec.model.embed] Registry @architectures Name spacy.MultiHashEmbed.v1 Module spacy.ml.models.tok2vec File /path/to/spacy/ml/models/tok2vec.py (line 93) ℹ [components.tok2vec.model.encode] Registry @architectures Name spacy.MaxoutWindowEncoder.v1 Module spacy.ml.models.tok2vec File /path/to/spacy/ml/models/tok2vec.py (line 207) ℹ [corpora.dev] Registry @readers Name spacy.Corpus.v1 Module spacy.training.corpus File /path/to/spacy/training/corpus.py (line 18) ℹ [corpora.train] Registry @readers Name spacy.Corpus.v1 Module spacy.training.corpus File /path/to/spacy/training/corpus.py (line 18) ℹ [training.logger] Registry @loggers Name spacy.ConsoleLogger.v1 Module spacy.training.loggers File /path/to/spacy/training/loggers.py (line 8) ℹ [training.batcher] Registry @batchers Name spacy.batch_by_words.v1 Module spacy.training.batchers File /path/to/spacy/training/batchers.py (line 49) ℹ [training.batcher.size] Registry @schedules Name compounding.v1 Module thinc.schedules File /path/to/thinc/thinc/schedules.py (line 43) ℹ [training.optimizer] Registry @optimizers Name Adam.v1 Module thinc.optimizers File /path/to/thinc/thinc/optimizers.py (line 58) ℹ [training.optimizer.learn_rate] Registry @schedules Name warmup_linear.v1 Module thinc.schedules File /path/to/thinc/thinc/schedules.py (line 91) ``` | Name | Description | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `config_path` | Path to [training config](/api/data-formats#config) file containing all settings and hyperparameters.

Should be options starting with `--` that correspond to the config section and value to override, e.g. `--paths.train ./train.spacy`. ~~Any (option/flag)~~ | | **PRINTS** | Config validation errors, if available. | ### debug data {#debug-data tag="command"} Analyze, debug and validate your training and development data. Get useful stats, and find problems like invalid entity annotations, cyclic dependencies, low data labels and more. The `debug data` command is now available as a subcommand of `spacy debug`. It takes the same arguments as `train` and reads settings off the [`config.cfg` file](/usage/training#config) and optional [overrides](/usage/training#config-overrides) on the CLI. If your pipeline contains a `spancat` component, then this command will also report span characteristics such as the average span length and the span (or span boundary) distinctiveness. The distinctiveness measure shows how different the tokens are with respect to the rest of the corpus using the KL-divergence of the token distributions.

Should be options starting with `--` that correspond to the config section and value to override, e.g. `--paths.train ./train.spacy`. ~~Any (option/flag)~~ | | **PRINTS** | Debugging information. | ## train {#train tag="command"} Train a pipeline. Expects data in spaCy's [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 `--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). 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. 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]`. > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy train config.cfg --output ./output --paths.train ./train --paths.dev ./dev > ``` ```cli $ python -m spacy train [config_path] [--output] [--code] [--verbose] [--gpu-id] [overrides] ``` | Name | Description | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `config_path` | Path to [training config](/api/data-formats#config) file containing all settings and hyperparameters. If `-`, the data will be [read from stdin](/usage/training#config-stdin). ~~Union[Path, str] \(positional)~~ | | `--output`, `-o` | Directory to store trained pipeline in. Will be created if it doesn't exist. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--code`, `-c` | Path to Python file with additional code to be imported. Allows [registering custom functions](/usage/training#custom-functions) for new architectures. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--verbose`, `-V` | Show more detailed messages during training. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--gpu-id`, `-g` | GPU ID or `-1` for CPU. Defaults to `-1`. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | overrides | Config parameters to override. Should be options starting with `--` that correspond to the config section and value to override, e.g. `--paths.train ./train.spacy`. ~~Any (option/flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | The final trained pipeline and the best trained pipeline. | ### Calling the training function from Python {#train-function new="3.2"} The training CLI exposes a `train` helper function that lets you run the training just like `spacy train`. Usually it's easier to use the command line directly, but if you need to kick off training from code this is how to do it. > #### Example > > ```python > from spacy.cli.train import train > > train("./config.cfg", overrides={"paths.train": "./train.spacy", "paths.dev": "./dev.spacy"}) > > ``` | Name | Description | | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `config_path` | Path to the config to use for training. ~~Union[str, Path]~~ | | `output_path` | Optional name of directory to save output model in. If not provided a model will not be saved. ~~Optional[Union[str, Path]]~~ | | _keyword-only_ | | | `use_gpu` | Which GPU to use. Defaults to -1 for no GPU. ~~int~~ | | `overrides` | Values to override config settings. ~~Dict[str, Any]~~ | ## pretrain {#pretrain new="2.1" tag="command,experimental"} Pretrain the "token to vector" ([`Tok2vec`](/api/tok2vec)) layer of pipeline components on raw text, 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. To read the raw text, a [`JsonlCorpus`](/api/top-level#jsonlcorpus) is typically used. As of spaCy v3.0, the `pretrain` command takes the same [config file](/usage/training#config) as the `train` command. This ensures that settings are consistent between pretraining and training. Settings for pretraining can be defined in the `[pretraining]` block of the config file and auto-generated by setting `--pretraining` on [`init fill-config`](/api/cli#init-fill-config). Also see the [data format](/api/data-formats#config) for details. > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy pretrain config.cfg ./output_pretrain --paths.raw_text ./data.jsonl > ``` ```cli $ python -m spacy pretrain [config_path] [output_dir] [--code] [--resume-path] [--epoch-resume] [--gpu-id] [overrides] ``` | Name | Description | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `config_path` | Path to [training config](/api/data-formats#config) file containing all settings and hyperparameters. If `-`, the data will be [read from stdin](/usage/training#config-stdin). ~~Union[Path, str] \(positional)~~ | | `output_dir` | Directory to save binary weights to on each epoch. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `--code`, `-c` | Path to Python file with additional code to be imported. Allows [registering custom functions](/usage/training#custom-functions) for new architectures. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--resume-path`, `-r` | Path to pretrained weights from which to resume pretraining. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--epoch-resume`, `-er` | The epoch to resume counting from when using `--resume-path`. Prevents unintended overwriting of existing weight files. ~~Optional[int] \(option)~~ | | `--gpu-id`, `-g` | GPU ID or `-1` for CPU. Defaults to `-1`. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | overrides | Config parameters to override. Should be options starting with `--` that correspond to the config section and value to override, e.g. `--training.dropout 0.2`. ~~Any (option/flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | The pretrained weights that can be used to initialize `spacy train`. | ## 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. ```cli $ python -m spacy evaluate [model] [data_path] [--output] [--code] [--gold-preproc] [--gpu-id] [--displacy-path] [--displacy-limit] ``` | Name | Description | | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `model` | Pipeline to evaluate. Can be a package or a path to a data directory. ~~str (positional)~~ | | `data_path` | Location of evaluation data in spaCy's [binary format](/api/data-formats#training). ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `--output`, `-o` | Output JSON file for metrics. If not set, no metrics will be exported. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--code`, `-c` 3 | Path to Python file with additional code to be imported. Allows [registering custom functions](/usage/training#custom-functions) for new architectures. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--gold-preproc`, `-G` | Use gold preprocessing. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--gpu-id`, `-g` | GPU to use, if any. Defaults to `-1` for CPU. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--displacy-path`, `-dp` | Directory to output rendered parses as HTML. If not set, no visualizations will be generated. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--displacy-limit`, `-dl` | Number of parses to generate per file. Defaults to `25`. Keep in mind that a significantly higher number might cause the `.html` files to render slowly. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | Training results and optional metrics and visualizations. | ## apply {#apply new="3.5" tag="command"} Applies a trained pipeline to data and stores the resulting annotated documents in a `DocBin`. The input can be a single file or a directory. The recognized input formats are: 1. `.spacy` 2. `.jsonl` containing a user specified `text_key` 3. Files with any other extension are assumed to be plain text files containing a single document. When a directory is provided it is traversed recursively to collect all files. ```cli $ python -m spacy apply [model] [data-path] [output-file] [--code] [--text-key] [--force-overwrite] [--gpu-id] [--batch-size] [--n-process] ``` | Name | Description | | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `model` | Pipeline to apply to the data. Can be a package or a path to a data directory. ~~str (positional)~~ | | `data_path` | Location of data to be evaluated in spaCy's [binary format](/api/data-formats#training), jsonl, or plain text. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `output-file`, `-o` | Output `DocBin` path. ~~str (positional)~~ | | `--code`, `-c` 3 | Path to Python file with additional code to be imported. Allows [registering custom functions](/usage/training#custom-functions) for new architectures. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--text-key`, `-tk` | The key for `.jsonl` files to use to grab the texts from. Defaults to `text`. ~~Optional[str] \(option)~~ | | `--force-overwrite`, `-F` | If the provided `output-file` already exists, then force `apply` to overwrite it. If this is `False` (default) then quits with a warning instead. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--gpu-id`, `-g` | GPU to use, if any. Defaults to `-1` for CPU. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--batch-size`, `-b` | Batch size to use for prediction. Defaults to `1`. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--n-process`, `-n` | Number of processes to use for prediction. Defaults to `1`. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | A `DocBin` with the annotations from the `model` for all the files found in `data-path`. | ## find-threshold {#find-threshold new="3.5" tag="command"} Runs prediction trials for a trained model with varying tresholds to maximize the specified metric. The search space for the threshold is traversed linearly from 0 to 1 in `n_trials` steps. Results are displayed in a table on `stdout` (the corresponding API call to `spacy.cli.find_threshold.find_threshold()` returns all results). This is applicable only for components whose predictions are influenced by thresholds - e.g. `textcat_multilabel` and `spancat`, but not `textcat`. Note that the full path to the corresponding threshold attribute in the config has to be provided. > #### Examples > > ```cli > # For textcat_multilabel: > $ python -m spacy find-threshold my_nlp data.spacy textcat_multilabel threshold cats_macro_f > ``` > > ```cli > # For spancat: > $ python -m spacy find-threshold my_nlp data.spacy spancat threshold spans_sc_f > ``` | Name | Description | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `model` | Pipeline to evaluate. Can be a package or a path to a data directory. ~~str (positional)~~ | | `data_path` | Path to file with DocBin with docs to use for threshold search. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `pipe_name` | Name of pipe to examine thresholds for. ~~str (positional)~~ | | `threshold_key` | Key of threshold attribute in component's configuration. ~~str (positional)~~ | | `scores_key` | Name of score to metric to optimize. ~~str (positional)~~ | | `--n_trials`, `-n` | Number of trials to determine optimal thresholds. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--code`, `-c` | Path to Python file with additional code to be imported. Allows [registering custom functions](/usage/training#custom-functions) for new architectures. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--gpu-id`, `-g` | GPU to use, if any. Defaults to `-1` for CPU. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--gold-preproc`, `-G` | Use gold preprocessing. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--silent`, `-V`, `-VV` | GPU to use, if any. Defaults to `-1` for CPU. ~~int (option)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | ## assemble {#assemble tag="command"} Assemble a pipeline from a config file without additional training. Expects a [config file](/api/data-formats#config) with all settings and hyperparameters. The `--code` argument can be used to import a Python file that lets you register [custom functions](/usage/training#custom-functions) and refer to them in your config. > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy assemble config.cfg ./output > ``` ```cli $ python -m spacy assemble [config_path] [output_dir] [--code] [--verbose] [overrides] ``` | Name | Description | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `config_path` | Path to the [config](/api/data-formats#config) file containing all settings and hyperparameters. If `-`, the data will be [read from stdin](/usage/training#config-stdin). ~~Union[Path, str] \(positional)~~ | | `output_dir` | Directory to store the final pipeline in. Will be created if it doesn't exist. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--code`, `-c` | Path to Python file with additional code to be imported. Allows [registering custom functions](/usage/training#custom-functions). ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--verbose`, `-V` | Show more detailed messages during processing. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | overrides | Config parameters to override. Should be options starting with `--` that correspond to the config section and value to override, e.g. `--paths.data ./data`. ~~Any (option/flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | The final assembled pipeline. | ## 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 additional code files are provided (e.g. Python files containing custom registered functions like [pipeline components](/usage/processing-pipelines#custom-components)), they are copied into the package and imported in the `__init__.py`. 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 build artifact that you can distribute and install with `pip install`. As of v3.1, the `package` command will also create a formatted `README.md` based on the pipeline information defined in the `meta.json`. If a `README.md` is already present in the source directory, it will be used instead. 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 `--build none`. You can also choose to build a binary wheel (which installs more efficiently) by setting `--build wheel`, or to build both the sdist and wheel by setting `--build sdist,wheel`. ```cli $ python -m spacy package [input_dir] [output_dir] [--code] [--meta-path] [--create-meta] [--build] [--name] [--version] [--force] ``` > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy package /input /output > $ cd /output/en_pipeline-0.0.0 > $ pip install dist/en_pipeline-0.0.0.tar.gz > ``` | Name | Description | | -------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `input_dir` | Path to directory containing pipeline data. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `output_dir` | Directory to create package folder in. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `--code`, `-c` 3 | Comma-separated paths to Python files to be included in the package and imported in its `__init__.py`. This allows including [registering functions](/usage/training#custom-functions) and [custom components](/usage/processing-pipelines#custom-components). ~~str (option)~~ | | `--meta-path`, `-m` | Path to [`meta.json`](/api/data-formats#meta) file (optional). ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ | | `--create-meta`, `-C` | Create a `meta.json` file on the command line, even if one already exists in the directory. If an existing file is found, its entries will be shown as the defaults in the command line prompt. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--build`, `-b` 3 | Comma-separated artifact formats to build. Can be `sdist` (for a `.tar.gz` archive) and/or `wheel` (for a binary `.whl` file), or `none` if you want to run this step manually. The generated artifacts can be installed by `pip install`. Defaults to `sdist`. ~~str (option)~~ | | `--name`, `-n` 3 | Package name to override in meta. ~~Optional[str] \(option)~~ | | `--version`, `-v` 3 | Package version to override in meta. Useful when training new versions, as it doesn't require editing the meta template. ~~Optional[str] \(option)~~ | | `--force`, `-f` | Force overwriting of existing folder in output directory. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | A Python package containing the spaCy pipeline. | ## project {#project new="3"} The `spacy project` CLI includes subcommands for working with [spaCy projects](/usage/projects), end-to-end workflows for building and deploying custom spaCy pipelines. ### project clone {#project-clone tag="command"} Clone a project template from a Git repository. Calls into `git` under the hood and can use the sparse checkout feature if available, so you're only downloading what you need. By default, spaCy's [project templates repo](https://github.com/explosion/projects) is used, but you can provide any other repo (public or private) that you have access to using the `--repo` option. ```cli $ python -m spacy project clone [name] [dest] [--repo] [--branch] [--sparse] ``` > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy project clone pipelines/ner_wikiner > ``` > > Clone from custom repo: > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy project clone template --repo https://github.com/your_org/your_repo > ``` | Name | Description | | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | The name of the template to clone, relative to the repo. Can be a top-level directory or a subdirectory like `dir/template`. ~~str (positional)~~ | | `dest` | Where to clone the project. Defaults to current working directory. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `--repo`, `-r` | The repository to clone from. Can be any public or private Git repo you have access to. ~~str (option)~~ | | `--branch`, `-b` | The branch to clone from. Defaults to `master`. ~~str (option)~~ | | `--sparse`, `-S` | Enable [sparse checkout](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-sparse-checkout) to only check out and download what's needed. Requires Git v22.2+. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | The cloned [project directory](/usage/projects#project-files). | ### project assets {#project-assets tag="command"} 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. ```cli $ python -m spacy project assets [project_dir] ``` > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy project assets [--sparse] > ``` | Name | Description | | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `project_dir` | Path to project directory. Defaults to current working directory. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `--sparse`, `-S` | Enable [sparse checkout](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-sparse-checkout) to only check out and download what's needed. Requires Git v22.2+. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | Downloaded or copied assets defined in the `project.yml`. | ### project run {#project-run tag="command"} 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. ```cli $ python -m spacy project run [subcommand] [project_dir] [--force] [--dry] ``` > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy project run train > ``` | Name | Description | | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `subcommand` | Name of the command or workflow to run. ~~str (positional)~~ | | `project_dir` | Path to project directory. Defaults to current working directory. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `--force`, `-F` | Force re-running steps, even if nothing changed. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--dry`, `-D` | Perform a dry run and don't execute scripts. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **EXECUTES** | The command defined in the `project.yml`. | ### 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 [`Pathy`](https://github.com/justindujardin/pathy) to communicate with the remote storages, so you can use any protocol that `Pathy` supports, including [S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/), [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage), and the local filesystem, 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 [`Pathy`](https://github.com/justindujardin/pathy) to communicate with the remote storages, so you can use any protocol that `Pathy` supports, including [S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/), [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage), and the local filesystem, although you may need to install extra dependencies to use certain protocols. ```cli $ python -m spacy project pull [remote] [project_dir] ``` > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy project pull my_bucket > ``` > > ```yaml > ### project.yml > remotes: > my_bucket: 's3://my-spacy-bucket' > ``` | Name | Description | | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `remote` | The name of the remote to download from. 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)~~ | | **DOWNLOADS** | All project outputs that do not exist locally and can be found in the remote. | ### 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. ```cli $ python -m spacy project document [project_dir] [--output] [--no-emoji] ``` > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy project document --output README.md > ``` For more examples, see the templates in our [`projects`](https://github.com/explosion/projects) repo. ![Screenshot of auto-generated Markdown Readme](../images/project_document.jpg) | Name | Description | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `project_dir` | Path to project directory. Defaults to current working directory. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `--output`, `-o` | Path to output file or `-` for stdout (default). If a file is specified and it already exists and contains auto-generated docs, only the auto-generated docs section is replaced. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `--no-emoji`, `-NE` | Don't use emoji in the titles. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | The Markdown-formatted project documentation. | ### project dvc {#project-dvc tag="command"} 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. 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). ```cli $ python -m spacy project dvc [project_dir] [workflow] [--force] [--verbose] [--quiet] ``` > #### Example > > ```cli > $ git init > $ dvc init > $ python -m spacy project dvc all > ``` | Name | Description | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `project_dir` | Path to project directory. Defaults to current working directory. ~~Path (positional)~~ | | `workflow` | Name of workflow defined in `project.yml`. Defaults to first workflow if not set. ~~Optional[str] \(option)~~ | | `--force`, `-F` | Force-updating config file. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--verbose`, `-V` | Print more output generated by DVC. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--quiet`, `-q` | Print no output generated by DVC. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ | | **CREATES** | A `dvc.yaml` file in the project directory, based on the steps defined in the given workflow. | ## huggingface-hub {#huggingface-hub new="3.1"} The `spacy huggingface-cli` CLI includes commands for uploading your trained spaCy pipelines to the [Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/). > #### Installation > > ```cli > $ pip install spacy-huggingface-hub > $ huggingface-cli login > ``` To use this command, you need the [`spacy-huggingface-hub`](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-huggingface-hub) package installed. Installing the package will automatically add the `huggingface-hub` command to the spaCy CLI. ### huggingface-hub push {#huggingface-hub-push tag="command"} Push a spaCy pipeline to the Hugging Face Hub. Expects a `.whl` file packaged with [`spacy package`](/api/cli#package) and `--build wheel`. For more details, see the spaCy project [integration](/usage/projects#huggingface_hub). ```cli $ python -m spacy huggingface-hub push [whl_path] [--org] [--msg] [--local-repo] [--verbose] ``` > #### Example > > ```cli > $ python -m spacy huggingface-hub push en_ner_fashion-0.0.0-py3-none-any.whl > ``` | Name | Description | | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `whl_path` | The path to the `.whl` file packaged with [`spacy package`](https://spacy.io/api/cli#package). ~~Path(positional)~~ | | `--org`, `-o` | Optional name of organization to which the pipeline should be uploaded. ~~str (option)~~ | | `--msg`, `-m` | Commit message to use for update.
