Spacy: MacOS install error

[bbstilson]

How to reproduce the problem

This is in a clean venv:

python3 -m venv ~/.venvs/ranker
source ~/.venvs/ranker/bin/activate

development.in

pip-compile --upgrade --build-isolation -v --output-file requirements/development.txt requirements/development.in

It hangs here for quite some time (5-10 minutes), then errors:

  spacy==2.1.0 not in cache, need to check index
  Collecting spacy==2.1.0
    Using cached spacy-2.1.0.tar.gz (27.7 MB)
    Installing build dependencies ... error
    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:
...

The full stacktrace is massive, so here are some things that I found that might be of interest:

I get this error too, which I think is caused due to the python version.
My system configuration is MacOS 10.14.6, Python 3.8, Spacy 2.1.9. However, I could get it to work in a virtual environment with Python 3.6.2.

You can also run this before installation:

export -u MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.15

(or 11.0 or 10.14 or whatever version you are on)

Have these tips been useful to you, @bbstilson? Have you been able to install spaCy properly? (I don't use Mac myself I'm afraid)

[bbstilson]

@svlandeg It seems like what others users recommended worked for a few people, so I think we can close this ticket.

Ok, will do, thanks!
