which os is the server? check spacy installation on that. You’ll get plenty docs on that. Or let me know the version. ---

Hi Akshit, this is the server details: Linux 43fa2ec0c81a 4.15.0-47-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 13 10:44:52 UTC 2019 x86\_64 x86\_64 x86\_64 GNU/Linux I am trying to find a way to use "python -m " commands. Thanks for your quick response ---

So as your error says “No module found” that’s spacy correct? You have successfully setup the environment for python right? ---

Yes, when I try this in my terminal - “python -m spacy download en” I get the following error message /usr/bin/python: No module named spacy But inside Jupyter, when I import spacy, it works fine. ---

Had to use Python 3!!! I think it should solve the issue. Will keep posted
