Install and run SpaCy 3 on a Google Cloud Compute Instance GPU powered to train a NER Transformer Model

Here you will find a step by step guide (last tested and working July 2021) on how to install and use Spacy 3.0 (and Cupy) on a Google Cloud GPU powered instance. I wrote this article in order to spare others whole days testing and installing packages. I've already wasted them, why should you? ;) I used this architecture to train a NER Transformer Model.

Softwares versions:

• cuda v11.2
• spacy v3.0
