pip install textacy fails

Question

I am trying to install textacy to perform NLP tasks, but getting an error while trying to do:

python -m pip install textacy --user

The code starts running but after a while it fails and shows this output:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Have you tried `pip3 install textacy --user`? I just did and it works fine for me. — Linny, Jan 16 '20 at 21:10
Have a look through these: https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=c1083+basetsd.h — Janne Karila, Jan 17 '20 at 06:23
@Linny Running that code outputs this error: `Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\program files (x86)\python37-32\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", mod_spec) File "c:\program files (x86)\python37-32\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32\Scripts\pip3.exe\__main__.py", line 9, in TypeError: 'module' object is not callable` — Javier C, Jan 17 '20 at 14:49

Have you considered trying running without the --user flag? I ran python -m pip install textacy and achieved a successful installation. You might be having some issues with the user prefix.

Have you installed Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0?

Use the link to Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools. That will install Visual C++ 14.0 without installing Visual Studio.

After installing it, the command worked for me.

pip install textacy

Importantly, I found the answer from here: Pip error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required

To install textacy package with conda run one of the following:

conda install -c conda-forge textacy
conda install -c conda-forge/label/cf201901 textacy
conda install -c conda-forge/label/cf202003 textacy

I Tried the below code from the above three. It worked fine for me

conda install -c conda-forge textacy

For Reference - https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/textacy

Note-Run the code in anaconda prompt/cmd

pip install textacy fails
