When running:

import spacy
nlp = spacy.load('en')

the following is printed:

Warning: no model found for 'en' Only loading the 'en' tokenizer.

/site-packages/spacy/data is empty with the exception of the init file. all filepaths are only pointing to my single installation of python.

Any help appreciated on resolving this.

Thanks! Will

I had this same issue when I tried this on Windows 10 - the problem was the output of python -m spacy.en.download all said Linking successful but above that was the message that the symbolic link wasn't actually created, due to permissions.

Running python -m spacy.en.download all as an Adminstrator fixed the problem.
