    More detail about the error? – ProPane865 Nov 22 '21 at 03:21

    You need to provide _more_ details about the error. Which command/s did you run? What is your environment (OS, python version)? What are the other parts of the error message? (it usually displays more informative error than just "error"). – Gino Mempin Nov 22 '21 at 03:22

Use anaconda. Miniconda has a much smaller footprint than Anaconda. I would suggest installing miniconda.

Install Miniaconda on your system from here. For instance if you are on linux, you could install miniconda using command as shown here.

Then create a new environment and install the necessary libraries as follows:

# Create and activate an environment by the name (nlp_env)
conda create -n nlp_env python=3.8 -yq
conda activate nlp_env

# Install spacy from conda-forge channel
conda install spacy -c conda-forge -y

# Install chatterbot
pip install chatterbot
pip install chatterbot-corpus

    While it is fine to suggest that Conda might make for a smoother installation, retagging the question with Conda-related tags does not seem warranted. OP is clearly using Pip and never mentioned Conda. – merv Nov 22 '21 at 05:12
  • @merv You can use `pip` inside `conda`. So, someone trying to use `pip` can still use `conda` as an environment manager and install packages with `pip`. In fact there are a lot of packages which do not provide any conda-alternative. And then your only option is to use pip either from PyPI or from the repo to install the package. – CypherX Nov 22 '21 at 19:41

    @CypherX The point is not whether pip can be used with conda. The point is just because you provided an _answer_ using conda, that does not mean the _question_ should be retagged with conda. That could limit the answers to just conda, even though OP didn't indicate that anywhere in the question. See related [Should a question be retagged to include a topic mentioned in an answer?](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/281783/2745495). – Gino Mempin Nov 23 '21 at 01:47
  • @GinoMempin I see the point. Thank you, for making it clear. Much appreciated. :) – CypherX Nov 23 '21 at 02:53
