How to resolve it?

Answer 1

I had the same issue with python3.13. I downgraded to python 3.12.6 and proceed wirh spacy install via pip inside a virtualenv and it worked. I guess not all library dependencies work in python 3.13

Answer 2

The following wheels are available for the 3.8.2 version:

https://pypi.org/project/spacy/#files

It looks to me like you're using Python 3.13, which I haven't added to our build system yet.

You should probably install with --only-binary. It's difficult for us to ensure that compilation works well across platforms, and ultimately it requires some system dependencies (e.g. the right compiler toolchain). If you use --only-binary it will fall back to versions that are available by wheel, or fail --- in this case I expect it'll fail because there's no suitable wheels.
