When I try to install spaCy to use with chatterBot (somehow it didn't download with ChatterBot), first I got an error because I did not have the Cython module installed into my virtual environment, and then I got stuck into this: pip install spacy Collecting spacy Using cached spacy-3.7.5-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl.metadata (27 kB) Collecting spacy-legacy<3.1.0,>=3.0.11 (from spacy) Using cached spacy_legacy-3.0.12-py2.py3-none-any.whl.metadata (2.8 kB) ...
