New to Rasa and python. I’m trying to install rasa’s spacy according to the installation tutorial. But get this error. Please clarify.

$pip install -U rasa[spacy] zsh: no matches found: rasa[spacy]

Hi @bhuvana-guna,

Please do this:

```auto
$ pip install rasa
$ pip install spacy
$ python -m spacy download en_core_web_md
$ python -m spacy link en_core_web_md en

```

Let me know if that works.

@bhuvana-guna zsh is finnicky about this type of stuff, it thinks you’re doing regex or something like that. THis should help:

```auto
pip install -U "rasa[spacy]"

```
