Sorry this is confusing. There are some spaCy models on conda-forge, but we did not upload those, they were added by a user at some point and we don't maintain them. We recommend you follow the install instructions to install spaCy.

In a requirements.txt file, it's possible to provide a URL, such as those spaCy uses for models. I'm not sure if there's an equivalent feature in conda.

Okay thanks for the infos. Sorry i thought the packages on channel conda-forge are managed and maintained by the official publisher.

Tried it with requirements.txt file as you mentioned - works! Thanks a lot!
