Download en_core_web_md successfully but installation ended with error

Question

I am new in python and having difficulty trying to get spacy to interface in R. So I used this at command line

 python -m spacy download en_core_web_md

Its about 1GB in size and at the end of it it tries to install en_core_web_md but somehow I got loads of error messages

Exception:

What do I need to do to re-try without downloading the file again?

Thank you

Run pip list or pip freeze to check which model packages you have installed — Pravitha V, Jul 30 '17 at 08:19
Based on the error, it looks like this might be an issue with `setuptools` on Anaconda. Did any of the suggestions in this thread work for you? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42755160/cannot-find-file-setuptools-27-2-0-py3-5-egg — Ines Montani, Jul 30 '17 at 08:25
so i have upgraded setuptools as you recommended, plz can you advice how to reinstall the above without downloading it again? — PeddiePooh, Jul 30 '17 at 08:38
If the model download was successful, you can check if it's still in the pip cache. See here for instructions: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34578168/where-is-pip-cache-folder If you do have to re-download, you can also download the model archive directly [from here](https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models) and then install it manually by pointing `pip install` to the archive on your local file system. In spaCy v2.0 (currently in alpha), this will be a lot easier btw – the models are _much_ smaller, e.g. 15 MB for the default English model. — Ines Montani, Jul 30 '17 at 12:28
