installation - Python Cannot install module spaCy

Question

I′m new to python and I ran into a problem I can′t solve. I would like to install and use the package spacy in python. Therefore I opened cmd and ran

pip install spacy

While installing the dependecies I get an error message:

    ----------------------------------------

Command ""c:usersxxxappdatalocalprogramspythonpython37python.exe" -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='C:UsersxxxAppDataLocalTemppip-install-6vcdnb_4 umpysetup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file);code=f.read().replace(' ', ' ');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, 'exec'))" install --record C:UsersxxxAppDataLocalTemppip-record-jhmti8_8install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in C:UsersxxxAppDataLocalTemppip-install-6vcdnb_4 umpy

but I have no idea what′s the problem...

Does anybody has a solution for this?

I use Windows and python version 3.7.0b4

Answer 1

You might be using the python 32-bit version which you need to uninstall and you will need to switch to the python 64-bit version.

After switching everything will work fine, just upgrade pip and setuptools before installing.
