ERROR: Cannot install en-core-web-trf because these package versions have conflicting dependencies

Ask Question

I use the following commands (from spacy website here ) to install spacy and en_core_web_trf under Windows 10 home 64 bit, however, I have encountered problems while running the last (third line) command.

pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
pip install -U spacy
python -m spacy download en_core_web_trf
Error:
INFO: pip is looking at multiple versions of en-core-web-trf to determine which version is compatible with other requirements. This could take a while.
ERROR: Cannot install en-core-web-trf because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.
The conflict is caused by:
    spacy-transformers 1.1.4 depends on torch>=1.6.0
    spacy-transformers 1.1.3 depends on torch>=1.6.0
    spacy-transformers 1.1.2 depends on torch>=1.6.0
To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

Anyone knows how to solve it? thanks! I was stuck here for the whole evening.

pip uninstall spacy-transformers 1.1.4

pip uninstall spacy-transformers 1.1.3

pip uninstall spacy-transformers 1.1.2

then execute:
pip install spacy-transformers -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
You can find the complete installation processus on https://pypi.org/project/spacy-transformers/
                Thanks, after using pip uninstall, I got warning: WARNING: Skipping spacy-transformers as it is not installed.

Information for someone who will have the same problem with me.
The mentioned problem was finally not solved, at least I tried to reinstall packages, reinstall python (totally uninstalled it before reinstalling). Nothing worked for me.
How did I avoid this finally?
I uninstalled the python completely.
Install Anaconda (latest version), while installing the Anaconda, the pip and python are also installed by default. Then I use pip install XX in the windows command line, no matter to install spacy, or to install the requirements.txt, all work well. That's how did I avoid the above mentioned problem.
Hope it is helpful for someone who also have this problem.
