Let's get started with setting up and installing spaCy. spaCy is compatible with 64-bit CPython [8] 2.6+∕3.3+ and runs on Unix/Linux, macOS/OS X, and Windows. CPython is a reference implementation of Python written in C – we don't need to know the details behind it, and if you have a stable installation of Python running, it is likely your CPython modules are just fine as well. The latest spaCy releases are available over Pip [9] (source packages only) and Conda [10]. Pip and conda are two Python package distributors. Installation requires a working build environment. We will be using Python 3, though the examples are all valid for Python 2 as well.
Pip remains the most straightforward choice, but for users with anaconda installed, they will be using conda instead.
pip install -U spacy
