Hi I am trying to create a chatbot using chatterbot, any ideas on what I should do regarding the error?

my code:

///this is to just train the bot///


from chatterbot import ChatBot 
from chatterbot.trainers import ListTrainer 

bot = ChatBot("chatbot", read_only = False, logic_adapters = ["chaetterbot.logic.BestMatch"])

list_to_train = [
                "Hi ",
                "Hi there ",
                "How are you? ",
                "Fine, thank you for asking ",
                "what's your name? ",
                "My name is chatbot ",
                "Who created you? ",
                "Ahh, good question, Majid is who created me ",
                "How old are you ",
                "I am ageless ",
                
]

list_trainer = ListTrainer(bot)

list_trainer.train(list_to_train)

error I am getting:

currently running python 3.8.0, I've had issues installing spacy but managed at the end 'I think'. I've downloaded chatterbot, chatterbot-corpus, Jupyter, flask, pyyaml, but when I tried to download: python -m space download en, it says command not found. im new to this and could use help please

• python-3.x
• chatbot
• spacy
• apple-m1
• chatterbot

• You've explicitly tagged apple-m1 here - does that mean you're not facing the same problem when using any other system? – Nico Haase Commented Jan 17 at 10:47

To fix the error, install the SpaCy model with this command:

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

Then, update your code to:

import spacy
nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")

This should resolve the issue!
