Chapter 2: Setting Up the Environment
2.5 Installing Necessary Libraries
In this book, we will be using several Python libraries for NLP tasks. These libraries are essential to simplify the implementation of complex NLP tasks and provide various functionalities to process text data. The usage of these libraries will help readers to understand the usage of Python in NLP.
Here we guide you through the installation of some of the most important ones. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions to install the libraries, their dependencies, and configure them with Python environments. We will also discuss the compatibility of these libraries with different versions of Python and provide some examples of how these libraries can be used to process text data.
2.5.1 Installing Python and pip
Before we start, make sure you have Python installed on your system. You can download Python from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/
The Python package installer pip is usually installed with Python. You can check if it's installed by typing pip --version in your terminal.
2.5.2 Installing NLP Libraries
Once you have Python and pip installed, you can install the necessary Python libraries for this book:
