I am using text analytics library "Spacy". I've installed spacy on Google Colab notebook without any issue. But for using it I need to download "en" model.
Generally, that command should look like this:
python -m spacy download en
I tried few ways but I am not able to get it to install on the notebook. Looking for help.
Cheers

Instead of clicking the GUI, you can also use Python code to upload files. You can import files module from google. colab . Then call upload() to launch a “File Upload” dialog and select the file(s) you wish to upload.
How to Download Folders from Colab. The command is !zip followed by r which means “recursive”, then we write the file path of the zipped file (i.e. /content/sample_data. zip ) and finally, we write the folder that we want to zip (i.e. /content/sample_data ) and voila, the zip file is generated :-).
If you have a Python interpreter but not a teriminal, you could try:
import spacy.cli
spacy.cli.download("en_core_web_sm")
More manual alternatives can be found here: https://spacy.io/usage/models#download-pip
Fundamentally what needs to happen is the model file needs to be downloaded, unzipped, and placed into the appropriate site-packages directory. You should be able to find a convenient way to do that, e.g. by pip installing the model package directly. But if you get really stuck, you can get the path by looking at the __file__ variable of any module you have installed, e.g. print(spacy.__file__) . That should tell you where on your file-system the site-packages directory is.
