NLTK Lookup Error

Question

While running a Python script using NLTK I got this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"cpicklesave.py\", line 56, in 
    pos = nltk.         


        

Answer 1

Install all nltk resources in one line:

python3 -c "import nltk; nltk.download('all')"

the data will be saved at ~/nltk_data

---

You can also substitute "all" for "averaged_perceptron_tagger" to install only this module.

Answer 2

Sometimes even by writing nltk.download('module_name'), it does not get downloaded. At those times, you can open python in interactive mode and then download by using nltk.download('module_name').
