When i try the below code
python -c "import nltk; nltk.download('punkt');
nltk.download('averaged_perceptron_tagger');
nltk.download('maxent_treebank_pos_tagger');
nltk.download('wordnet')"
the console says
[nltk_data] Error loading punkt: HTTP Error 405: Not allowed.
[nltk_data] Error loading averaged_perceptron_tagger: HTTP Error 405:
[nltk_data] Not allowed.
[nltk_data] Error loading maxent_treebank_pos_tagger: HTTP Error 405:
[nltk_data] Not allowed.
[nltk_data] Error loading wordnet: HTTP Error 405: Not allowed.
This is caused by a down-age of Github raw file link.
Meanwhile a stop-gap solution would be to manually download the file:
PATH_TO_NLTK_DATA=/home/username/nltk_data/
wget https://github.com/nltk/nltk_data/archive/gh-pages.zip
unzip gh-pages.zip
mv nltk_data-gh-pages/ $PATH_TO_NLTK_DATA
We're working on finding an alternative to the data and model downloading.
Meanwhile, @everyone please help to check that your script(s) and make sure that you're not overloading the data downloads! Thank you in advance!!
Please check https://github.com/nltk/nltk/issues/1787 for latest updates on this issue.
For MacOSX - small modification to the above answer:
PATH_TO_NLTK_DATA=~/nltk_data/
wget https://github.com/nltk/nltk_data/archive/gh-pages.zip
unzip gh-pages.zip
mv nltk_data-gh-pages/packages/ $PATH_TO_NLTK_DATA
Note that this is a big download (~700MB).
