Spacy explains several ways to download a model : https://spacy.io/usage/models#download

Using python -m

# Download best-matching version of specific model for your spaCy installation
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

# Out-of-the-box: download best-matching default model and create shortcut link
python -m spacy download en

# Download exact model version (doesn't create shortcut link)
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm-2.2.0 --direct

Using pip

# With external URL
pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.2.0/en_core_web_sm-2.2.0.tar.gz

# With local file
pip install /Users/you/en_core_web_sm-2.2.0.tar.gz

Using manual download

Now how to download it using PyCharm ?

I tried to do it by installing an URL package Project Interpreter in a virtual environment (venv) :

https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.2.5/en_core_web_sm-2.2.5.tar.gz

But Pycharm failed to install the tar directly.

Solution : Finally I just add the github URL of the tar in the requirements.txt, then PyCharm will install it for you.

Add this below in requirements.txt :

# spacy
spacy
# spacy model
https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.2.5/en_core_web_sm-2.2.5.tar.gz

You can do it for all the models on the github release page : https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/
