en-core-web-sm dependency download issue

[ckeshava]

pip install -r requirements.txt causes the following error on Mac OS Catalina 10.15:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement en-core-web-sm (from -r requirements.txt (line 9)) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for en-core-web-sm (from -r requirements.txt (line 9))

I get a similar error for the version 2.1.0 or for any other version also.

Can I install this module via spaCy? (python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm) Do you have any other suggestion/alternatives for downloading the en-core-web-sm module?

Try:

pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.1.0/en_core_web_sm-2.1.0.tar.gz --no-deps

Although on OSX it is likely that you will run into other dependency issues regarding pygobject, python-apt.
