You can simply run

import nltk
nltk.download('punkt')

in the notebook to download the required files

[ds-manav]

punkt is a nltk library tool for tokenizing text documents. When we use an old or a degraded version of nltk module we generally need to download the remaining data .
You can do
nltk.download('punkt')
nltk.download('stopwords')
nltk.download('corpus')

I am receiving this error as well and have tried everything in the comments.

[UjjwalAnand364]

An easy way to get over this 'urlopen error' is to do the process manually. Just go to the website https://www.nltk.org/nltk_data/ and download the required zip file and extract the contents.

In Windows, go to user/AppData/local/Programs/Python/Python(version)/lib and create a folder nltk_data. Then create the respective folder. As an example, for 'punkt' create the folder tokenizers and add the folder 'punkt' inside the extracted folder to it. This info is mostly given by the terminal itself.

Run your program. Cheers!

EDIT 1: Of course, downloading all files can be time-consuming, but it's the only option if the "urlopen error" persists.

EDIT 2 It is also mostly your router or network at fault that you are not able to download nltk files. Try changing your network and that should help.

[prajwal13579]

I am receiving this error as well and have tried everything in the comments.

TRY CHANGING YOUR NETWORK
--> i had the same problem where none of the recommended solutions worked until i changed my wifi. I simply used another network and it worked for me. I don't know why this worked but i hope it helps you.

need help!
I tried every single method that is mentioned or recommended by you all, still can't figure out what should I do now, I made a new file in pythin\lib directly suggested above and also tried to write nltk.download('punkt')
none of them worked for me.

Getting this error guys. Any help would be very helpful. Thanks in advance

nltk.download('punkt')
[nltk_data] Error loading punkt: <urlopen error [Errno 54] Connection

False

[UjjwalAnand364]

As mentioned by several people here including me, the primary cause of this error underlies to a faulty/unstable network connection.
The code:

import nltk
nltk.download('punkt')

works fine.
I too had the same problem wherein I was unable to download the resources, and consequently it didn't install in the desired repository. Try changing your network, remove the firewall or use a VPN. Any of these WILL work.

[ibrahim-string]

It works fine if the network conection is stable otherwise it crashes .
It worked for me :)

[pmarathay]

I ran into the same problem but just needed to add the code mentioned above (plus a few additional lines) to get it to work.

Here is the original code:
import nltk
from nltk.corpus import stopwords
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize, sent_tokenize
from nltk.tag import pos_tag

Here is the modified and working code:
import nltk
nltk.download('punkt')
nltk.download('averaged_perceptron_tagger')
nltk.download('stopwords')
from nltk.corpus import stopwords
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize, sent_tokenize
from nltk.tag import pos_tag

You'll notice i just added 3 lines. The first is based on the comments above and the other two were derived by extension of the same logic.
nltk.download('punkt')
nltk.download('averaged_perceptron_tagger')
nltk.download('stopwords')

Hope this helps!

I've downloaded it manually what to do next

[kbrajwani]

i face the same issue. The main issue is that we are not able to connect the raw github url. Where NLTK will download the data.
Check bu hitting this url. If you not able to open it. we have the same problem.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nltk/nltk_data/gh-pages/packages/corpora/brown.zip

You can use following tutorial to solve this issue.

[craterr]

🪲Its a bug , add these parameters to the word_tokenize function
example->
tokens = nltk.word_tokenize(example, language='english', preserve_line=True)
This worked for me.

[khaibenz]

I solved this by providing an absolute path (as I needed to perform calculations on a remote server that didn't have an internet connection).

Download the resource you need and save it under /home/user/nltk_data/ (this is where nltk will look per default)

For example /home/user/nltk_data/tokenizers/punkt/english.pickle

import nltk
nltk.data.load('absolute/path/to/your/resource', verbose=True)

[jangmaga]

import nltk
nltk.download('punkt_tab')

[pw1z]

Ahhhhh @jangmaga
You beat me to it....
I also had to troubleshoot this on my pc earlier today and that (for me) was the last missing piece.
I 'was' about to plug that info into this thread but, you got me.

Folks, after I did that, I received the following status. See image:

this was my initial code

I am not yet at the NLP guru level of others here.

But I would suggest ensuring you do the following to ensure you have NLTK:

---

I am using jupyter notebook and had to do this install:
--->>>> !pip install -U NLTK

then the following.....
--->>>> import nltk
--->>>> nltk.download('punkt')

you may need this one....
--->>>> nltk.download('punkt_tab')

and of course, this one....
--->>>> from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

NOTE:
AND wouldn't ya know it - I just discovered (Nov 29th) this on the NLTK site - going to have to update my own web page for this content:
--->>>> from nltk.tokenize import PunktTokenizer

[Saimahmansuri]

ohh damn this worked for me thank you very much...
