Error importing NLTK on PyCharm

Question

I\'m trying to import NLTK in PyCharm, and get the following error. I\'m on Mac OS 10.5.8 with Python 2.7.6. What could be going on? I\'m completely new to programming, so sorry

Answer 1

You'd be much better off sticking with the latest version of pip (1.5.6) and just telling it that you don't care about the security of your python packages:

pip install --allow-all-external --allow-unverified ntlk nltk

If you really want to be sure an install runs without complaint, you can also tell it not to overwrite any existing installations:

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --allow-all-external --allow-unverified ntlk nltk

And sudo if you get file write permission errors.
