How do I download vader_lexicon through NLTK in jupyter

Question

I know I can use:

nltk.download()

But I really don't want to waste time letting the whole thing download. How do I just install the vader_lexicon

Use the command: 1) !pip install nltk then 2) nltk.download('vader_lexicon') — Saurav, Sep 03 '20 at 16:21

Use nltk.download() in Python with/without Jupyter:

>>> import nltk
>>> nltk.download('vader_lexicon')
[nltk_data] Downloading package vader_lexicon to
[nltk_data]     /Users/liling.tan/nltk_data...
[nltk_data]   Package vader_lexicon is already up-to-date!
True

Or on terminal:

$ python -m nltk.downloader vader_lexicon
[nltk_data] Downloading package vader_lexicon to
[nltk_data]     /Users/liling.tan/nltk_data...
[nltk_data]   Package vader_lexicon is already up-to-date!

You may try the following command in command prompt/terminal

python -m nltk.downloader vader_lexicon

Output for Windows:

[nltk_data] Downloading package vader_lexicon to
[nltk_data]     C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\nltk_data...

It will download only the specific package to nltk_data folder.
