Hi, this line is installing an incompatible model for spacy v3 (it's only compatible with spacy v2.2.x):

pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.2.0/en_core_web_sm-2.2.0.tar.gz

Skip this line and just use python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm to the right version of the model automatically.

I needed to uninstall because just running the command didn't work, even though in my pip freeze list it was listed as 3.0 not 2.2 anymore.

However after doing that it seems to be working.
