offline installation

[geoHeil]

I have downloaded the spacy models and placed them all into /path/to/folder/spacy as tar.gz zipped files.

• https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/de_core_news_sm-2.3.0/de_core_news_sm-2.3.0.tar.gz
• https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/de_core_news_md-2.3.0/de_core_news_md-2.3.0.tar.gz
• https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/de_core_news_lg-2.3.0/de_core_news_lg-2.3.0.tar.gz
• https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/de_trf_bertbasecased_lg-2.3.0/de_trf_bertbasecased_lg-2.3.0.tar.gz

Then I have untarred: tar -xvf de_core_news_sm-2.3.0.tar.gz.

When trying to use the models in spacy:

import spacy
nlp = spacy.load('/path/to/folder/spacy/de_core_news_sm-2.3.0')

it fails:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/path/to/folder/spacy/de_core_news_sm-2.3.0/tokenizer'

Do I need to perform an alternative (manual) installation of the models which unpack & create the missing tokenizer folder.

You can install the model with pip install de_core_news_sm-2.3.0.tar.gz and then load from the package name as de_core_news_sm.

If you want to unpack the archive and load from a path, the actual model directory you want to load is two levels deeper in the package at /path/to/folder/spacy/de_core_news_sm-2.3.0/de_core_news_sm/de_core_news_sm-2.3.0.

Great. This works. Any chance you would plan to put them to pypy or conda so the installation is more native / does not require working around firewalling / proxy but works via the default tooling?

[adrianeboyd]

No, the main problem is that the models are too large for this to be practical. See the discussion here: #5967
