Alternative trained pipelines installation steps

[blade1989]

I am behind a secured network, where githuh is blocked.

I tried the installation steps for trained Pipelines:

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

But that just outputs the error:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='github.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/nl_core_news_sm-3.5.0/nl_core_news_sm-3.5.0-py3-none-any.whl (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1129)')))

What are the alternative installation steps for trained pipelines?

Hi!

We typically do rely on Github for hosting our models. If you can't use the spacy download command, you could download the model first (on a different system maybe?) and transfer it and install it directly.

Our models documentation pages have a "release details" link where you can download the model directly, then install it like so :

pip install zh_core_web_trf-3.6.1.tar.gz

Alternatively, you can also find our models on the Huggingface hub: https://huggingface.co/spacy. While we usually maintain a mirror of the most recent releases there, it's not guaranteed to be stable, as officially we do host our models on Github.

I cannot find the "release details" link?

It's on the top right of the center pane of the model page.
