Exporting installed models back to .tar.gz files.

[foscraft]

I am working on my spacy project, and I want to make it easy for users to add entity ruler to the models using the yaml file easily. As part of this I want to find a way to export an already installed model back to tar.gz file.

How can I reverse that?

I don't think we'd considered that use case before, but you should be able to do it by using spacy package with the directory where the model was installed. You can find the directory with pip show [model_name].

1. Am getting this error.

spacy package /home/miniconda3/envs/spacy3.1.0/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ .
ℹ Building package artifacts: sdist

✘ Can't load pipeline meta.json
/home/miniconda3/envs/spacy3.1.0/lib/python3.8/site-packages/meta.json

2. Also after running this.
   spacy package /home/foscraft/miniconda3/envs/spacy3.1.0/lib/python3.8/site-packages/en_core_web_sm/ .

I get this error:
OSError: [E053] Could not read config.cfg from /home/miniconda3/envs/spacy3.1.0/lib/python3.8/site-packages/en_core_web_sm/config.cfg

Sorry for not being clearer you need to use the directory with the config.cfg file, something like site-packages/en_core_web_sm/en_core_web_sm-3.2.0/ (so one deeper than you are using now).

Thank you!. It worked.
