+aside("Downloading models in spaCy < v1.7")
| In older versions of spaCy, you can still use the old download commands.
| This will download and install the models into the #[code spacy/data]
| directory.
+code.o-no-block.
python -m spacy.en.download all
python -m spacy.de.download all
python -m spacy.en.download glove
| The old models are also #[+a(gh("spacy") + "/tree/v1.6.0") attached to the v1.6.0 release].
| To download and install them manually, unpack the archive, drop the
| contained directory into #[code spacy/data].
include _install-basics
+h(3, "download-pip") Installation via pip
p
| To download a model directly using #[+a("https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip") pip],
| simply point #[code pip install] to the URL or local path of the archive
| file. To find the direct link to a model, head over to the
| #[+a(gh("spacy-models") + "/releases") model releases], right click on the archive
| link and copy it to your clipboard.
+code(false, "bash").
# with external URL
pip install #{gh("spacy-models")}/releases/download/en_core_web_md-1.2.0/en_core_web_md-1.2.0.tar.gz
# with local file
pip install /Users/you/en_core_web_md-1.2.0.tar.gz
p
| By default, this will install the model into your #[code site-packages]
| directory. You can then use #[code spacy.load()] to load it via its
| package name, create a #[+a("#usage-link") shortcut link] to assign it a
| custom name, or #[+a("#usage-import") import it] explicitly as a module.
| If you need to download models as part of an automated process, we
| recommend using pip with a direct link, instead of relying on spaCy's
| #[+api("cli#download") #[code download]] command.
+infobox
| You can also add the direct download link to your application's
| #[code requirements.txt]. For more details,
| see the section on
| #[+a("/models/#production") working with models in production].
+h(3, "download-manual") Manual download and installation
p
| In some cases, you might prefer downloading the data manually, for
| example to place it into a custom directory. You can download the model
| via your browser from the #[+a(gh("spacy-models")) latest releases], or configure
| your own download script using the URL of the archive file. The archive
| consists of a model directory that contains another directory with the
| model data.

| You can place the #[strong model package directory] anywhere on your
| local file system. To use it with spaCy, simply assign it a name by
| creating a #[+a("#usage") shortcut link] for the data directory.
+h(3, "usage") Using models with spaCy
p
| To load a model, use #[+api("spacy#load") #[code spacy.load()]] with the
| model's shortcut link, package name or a path to the data directory:
+code.
import spacy
nlp = spacy.load('en') # load model with shortcut link "en"
nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_sm') # load model package "en_core_web_sm"
nlp = spacy.load('/path/to/en_core_web_sm') # load package from a directory
doc = nlp(u'This is a sentence.')
+infobox("Tip: Preview model info")
| You can use the #[+api("cli#info") #[code info]] command or
| #[+api("spacy#info") #[code spacy.info()]] method to print a model's meta data
| before loading it. Each #[code Language] object with a loaded model also
| exposes the model's meta data as the attribute #[code meta]. For example,
| #[code nlp.meta['version']] will return the model's version.
+h(3, "usage-link") Using custom shortcut links
p
| While previous versions of spaCy required you to maintain a data directory
| containing the models for each installation, you can now choose
| #[strong how and where you want to keep your data]. For example, you could
| download all models manually and put them into a local directory.
| Whenever your spaCy projects need a models, you create a shortcut link to
| tell spaCy to load it from there. This means you'll never end up with
| duplicate data.
p
| The #[+api("cli#link") #[code link]] command will create a symlink
| in the #[code spacy/data] directory.
+aside("Why does spaCy use symlinks?")
| Symlinks were originally introduced to maintain backwards compatibility,
| as older versions expected model data to live within #[code spacy/data].
| However, we decided to keep using them in v2.0 instead of opting for
| a config file. There'll always be a need for assigning and saving custom
| model names or IDs. And your system already comes with a native solution
| to mapping unicode aliases to file paths: symbolic links.
+code(false, "bash", "$").
python -m spacy link [package name or path] [shortcut] [--force]
p
| The first argument is the #[strong package name] (if the model was
| installed via pip), or a local path to the the #[strong model package].
| The second argument is the internal name you want to use for the model.
| Setting the #[code --force] flag will overwrite any existing links.
+code("Examples", "bash").
# set up shortcut link to load installed package as "en_default"
python -m spacy link en_core_web_md en_default
# set up shortcut link to load local model as "my_amazing_model"
python -m spacy link /Users/you/model my_amazing_model
+infobox("Important note", "⚠️")
| In order to create a symlink, your user needs the #[strong required permissions].
| If you've installed spaCy to a system directory and don't have admin
| privileges, the #[code spacy link] command may fail. The easiest solution
| is to re-run the command as admin, or use a #[code virtualenv]. For more
| info on this, see the
| #[+a("/usage/#symlink-privilege") troubleshooting guide].
+h(3, "usage-import") Importing models as modules
p
| If you've installed a model via spaCy's downloader, or directly via pip,
| you can also #[code import] it and then call its #[code load()] method
| with no arguments:
+code.
import en_core_web_md
nlp = en_core_web_md.load()
doc = nlp(u'This is a sentence.')
p
| How you choose to load your models ultimately depends on personal
| preference. However, #[strong for larger code bases], we usually recommend
| native imports, as this will make it easier to integrate models with your
| existing build process, continuous integration workflow and testing
| framework. It'll also prevent you from ever trying to load a model that
| is not installed, as your code will raise an #[code ImportError]
| immediately, instead of failing somewhere down the line when calling
| #[code spacy.load()].
+infobox
| For more details, see the section on
| #[+a("/models/#production") working with models in production].
+h(3, "own-models") Using your own models
p
| If you've trained your own model, for example for
| #[+a("/usage/adding-languages") additional languages] or
| #[+a("/usage/training#ner") custom named entities], you can save its
| state using the #[+api("language#to_disk") #[code Language.to_disk()]]
| method. To make the model more convenient to deploy, we recommend
| wrapping it as a Python package.
+infobox("Saving and loading models")
| For more information and a detailed guide on how to package your model,

| #[+a("/usage/training#saving-loading") saving and loading models].
