spacy Can't find model 'en_core_web_sm' on windows 10 and Python 3.5.3 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)
what is difference between spacy.load('en_core_web_sm') and spacy.load('en')? This link explains different model sizes. But i am still not clear how spacy.load('en_core_web_sm') and spacy.load('en') differ
spacy.load('en') runs fine for me. But the spacy.load('en_core_web_sm') throws error
i have installed spacyas below. when i go to jupyter notebook and run command nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_sm') I get the below error

OSError: [E050] Can't find model 'en_core_web_sm'. It doesn't seem to be a shortcut link, a Python package or a valid path to a data directory.

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
But, I kept on getting linkage error and finally running below command helped me to establish link and solved error.
python -m spacy download en
