spaCy's CLI provides a range of helpful commands for downloading and training
models, 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 [models](/usage/models) for spaCy. The downloader finds the
best-matching compatible version and uses `pip install` to download the model as
a package. Direct downloads don't perform any compatibility checks and require
the model 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 model your project needs, you should consider a
> [direct download via pip](/usage/models#download-pip), or uploading the model
> 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] [pip_args]
```
| Name | Description |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `model` | Model name, e.g. [`en_core_web_sm`](/models/en#en_core_web_sm). ~~str (positional)~~ |
| `--direct`, `-d` | Force direct download of exact model version. ~~bool (flag)~~ |
| `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ |
| pip args <Tag variant="new">2.1</Tag> | Additional installation options to be passed to `pip install` when installing the model package. For example, `--user` to install to the user home directory or `--no-deps` to not install model dependencies. ~~Any (option/flag)~~ |
| **CREATES** | The installed model package in your `site-packages` directory. |
## info {#info tag="command"}
Print information about your spaCy installation, models 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]
```
```cli
$ python -m spacy info [model] [--markdown] [--silent]
```
| Name | Description |
| ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

| `--markdown`, `-md` | Print information as Markdown. ~~bool (flag)~~ |
| `--silent`, `-s` <Tag variant="new">2.0.12</Tag> | Don't print anything, just return the values. ~~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 models 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 models
are can be used with the new version. It will show a list of models and their
installed versions. If any model 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 models are up to date before proceeding. If incompatible
> models are found, it will return `1`.
```cli
$ python -m spacy validate
```
| Name | Description |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PRINTS** | Details about the compatibility of your installed models. |
## init {#init new="3"}
The `spacy init` CLI includes helpful commands for initializing training config
files and model 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] [--cpu]
```
| Name | Description |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `output_file` | Path to output `.cfg` file. If not set, the config is written to stdout so you can pipe it forward to a file. ~~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 in the model. 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)~~ |
| `--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 [`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.
> #### Example
>
> ```cli
> $ python -m spacy init fill-config base.cfg config.cfg
> ```
```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. If not set, the config is written to stdout so you can pipe it forward to a file. ~~Path (positional)~~ |
| `--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 model {#init-model new="2" tag="command"}
Create a new model directory from raw data, like word frequencies, Brown
clusters and word vectors. Note that in order to populate the model's vocab, you
need to pass in a JSONL-formatted
[vocabulary file](/api/data-formats#vocab-jsonl) as `--jsonl-loc` with optional
`id` values that correspond to the vectors table. Just loading in vectors will
not automatically populate the vocab.
<Infobox title="New in v3.0" variant="warning">
The `init-model` command is now available as a subcommand of `spacy init`.
</Infobox>
```cli
$ python -m spacy init model [lang] [output_dir] [--jsonl-loc] [--vectors-loc] [--prune-vectors]
```

| `--vectors-loc`, `-v` | Optional 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. ~~Optional[Path] \(option)~~ |
| `--truncate-vectors`, `-t` <Tag variant="new">2.3</Tag> | Number of vectors to truncate to when reading in vectors file. Defaults to `0` for no truncation. ~~int (option)~~ |
| `--prune-vectors`, `-V` | Number of vectors to prune the vocabulary to. Defaults to `-1` for no pruning. ~~int (option)~~ |
| `--vectors-name`, `-vn` | Name to assign to the word vectors in the `meta.json`, e.g. `en_core_web_md.vectors`. ~~str (option)~~ |
| `--help`, `-h` | Show help message and available arguments. ~~bool (flag)~~ |
| **CREATES** | A spaCy model containing the vocab and vectors. |
## 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] [--model] [--morphology] [--merge-subtokens] [--ner-map] [--lang]

## 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 fillconfig`](/api/cli#init-fill-config) command.
```cli
$ python -m spacy debug config [config_path] [--code_path] [overrides]
```
> #### Example
>
> ```cli
> $ python -m spacy debug config ./config.cfg
> ```

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.
```cli
$ python -m spacy debug model ./config.cfg tagger -l "5,15" -DIM -PAR -P0 -P1 -P2

## train {#train tag="command"}
Train a model. 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 model. 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).
<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.
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]`.

| **CREATES** | The final model and the best model. |
## pretrain {#pretrain new="2.1" tag="command,experimental"}
Pretrain the "token to vector" ([`Tok2vec`](/api/tok2vec)) layer of pipeline
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 model. This technique may be especially helpful if you have little
labelled data. See the usage docs on [pretraining](/usage/training#pretraining)
for more info.
<Infobox title="Changed in v3.0" variant="warning">
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. See
the [data format](/api/data-formats#config) for details.

## evaluate {#evaluate new="2" tag="command"}
Evaluate a model. Expects a loadable spaCy model 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] [--gold-preproc] [--gpu-id] [--displacy-path] [--displacy-limit]

| `--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. |
## package {#package tag="command"}
Generate an installable
[model Python package](/usage/training#models-generating) from an existing model
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`.
<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.
</Infobox>

## 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 models.
### project clone {#project-clone tag="command"}
Clone a project template from a Git repository. Calls into `git` under the hood
and uses the sparse checkout feature, 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.
<!-- TODO: update example once we've decided on repo structure -->
```cli
$ python -m spacy project clone [name] [dest] [--repo]
```
> #### Example
>
> ```cli
> $ python -m spacy project clone some_example
> ```
>
> 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)~~ |
| `--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
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `project_dir` | Path to project directory. Defaults to current working directory. ~~Path (positional)~~ |
| `--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 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.
<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).
</Infobox>
```cli
$ python -m spacy project dvc [project_dir] [workflow] [--force] [--verbose]
```
> #### 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] \(positional)~~ |
