$ pip install git+git://github.com/Nilanshrajput/syfertext_en_core_web_lg@master
If you had already installed syfertext_en_core_web_lg prior to installing git-lfs please do the following:
- Uninstall
syfertext_en_core_web_lg - Install
git-lfs. - Reinstall
syfertext_en_core_web_lg.
Now you can go ahead and install SyferText:
$ git clone https://github.com/OpenMined/SyferText.git
$ cd SyferText
$ python setup.py install
That's it, you are good to go!
