Issues with Installing Spacy Library

Question

I am trying my hands on SPACY library for NLP and facing issues while installing. Following are the steps taken:

!pip3 install spacy
!python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm 

I am getting following errors.

What needs to be done to fix it?

I also tried this option, but this is not working:

PS C:\Users\bj> pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.1.0/en_core_web_sm-2.1.0.tar.gz

Add https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-3.0.0/en_core_web_sm-3.0.0.tar.gz to your requirements.txt file.

Next, install using pip3 install --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host github.com -r requirements.txt
