OSError: [E050] Can't find model 'en'. It doesn't seem to be a shortcut link, a Python package

Hi everyone, reviving an old thread. I tried the last suggestion, and it works. However, I’m getting this error now. OSError: [E053] Could not read config.cfg from /home/appuser/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/en_core_web_sm/en_core_web_sm-2.2.0/config.cfg Any ideas?

Edit 1:

Found a solution!

Adding the following to my requirements.txt file solved my issue:
spacy>=2.2.0,<3.0.0
https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.2.0/en_core_web_sm-2.2.0.tar.gz#egg=en_core_web_sm

I was having an issue with the latest version of Spacy.
