SpaCy Error: 'en_core_web_sm' Model Not Found - Solution Guide

This error occurs because the spaCy library is unable to find the language model 'en_core_web_sm'. This model is used for processing English text and is usually downloaded separately using the command:

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

If you have already downloaded the model, make sure that it is installed in the correct location and that you have specified the correct path to the model in your code. You can try specifying the path to the model explicitly using the following code:

import spacy

nlp = spacy.load('path_to_model/en_core_web_sm')

Replace 'path_to_model' with the actual path to the model on your system.
