Answer 1

not sure if this will work but have you tried compiling from source? this script is at Spacy's pypi page. No idea if this would manage RAM constraint better than regular pip install but it's something I would try.

# make sure you are using the latest pip
python -m pip install -U pip
git clone https://github.com/explosion/spaCy
cd spaCy

python -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
