Unable to install spacy via pip #7748

Hi, you probably just need to upgrade pip and related tools before installing spacy:

pip install -U pip setuptools wheel

After upgrading pip, it should install binary wheels on x86_64, so you probably won't need to compile anything. And even if you do, the newer pip will be able to compile the package correctly.

We would also strongly recommend using a virtual env. You can see general install instructions here, click "virtual env" to add the additional instructions for that:
