Error: [E050] when trying to load sample annotate entity project

[yzfr6]

I have a fresh install on an Ubuntu 22.04 server. When selecting an example project (or one I have created), when I click an entity on the left the following error is displayed:

Error: [E050] Can't find model 'en_core_sci_lg'. It doesn't seem to be a Python package or a valid path to a data directory.

Full Error:

Anyone know what the problem might be?

hi @yzfr6 - by deafult later versions of trainer don't have en_core_sci_lg installed. You can either adapt the model to use en_core_web_md, which is installed or drop into the running container, install the missing dep and the model will load up. Which model are you trying to load up?

hi @tomolopolis - thanks for the info. At present I am just trying to load one of example projects to see how the tool works, so I wanted to use whatever was already installed in the package.

Would you be able to provide instructions on how to adapt the model to use en_core_web_md?

I added the following to the install section of webapp/Dockerfile and re run docker compose up but I was still met with the same error so im not sure how to do it
