Thank you.

The best solution is to use a 64-bit version of Python. Previously we did manage to support both 64 bit and 32bit versions, but the difference becomes quite problematic, so to move forward effectively we're dropping support for 32 bit. I'm not entirely sure why you're already seeing an error though, as there should be a 32 bit wheel available for spaCy 2.0.16. If you do pip install spacy==2.0.16, do you get the same error?

[udaybhaskar4592]

The result is same, even when pip install spacy==2.0.16. is used. I am using 64 bit windows and 64 bit python 3.6.5.

[honnibal]

Your Windows is 64 bit, but I think you'll find that the Python you're using is 32 bit.

[udaybhaskar4592]

No, python is also 64 bit version.
Earlier I was using 32 bit python. Then there was no problem with spacy installation.
As I wanted to run tensorflow I upgraded to 64 bit python.
Now I cannot install spacy on 64bit python running on 64bit OS.

Can you try pip install spacy==2.0.18? It should have wheel installation, which will avoid any errors like this.
