sudo pip install fastText

Run in a bash shell (linux) or select it with pip in visual studio (windows) or get it directly at GitHub ... There are many possible ways. But I'd recommend pip, because it is convenient to manage different libraries. For this to work you have to have cython installed.

A popular dependency manager for python is `poetry`. Sadly it has a problem with the way fasttext is packaged. See: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/6113 – chrishmorris Jan 06 '23 at 16:16
