title: Unable to load the spacy model 'en_core_web_lg' on Google colab
body: <p>I am using spacy in google colab to build an NER model for which I have downloaded the spaCy 'en_core_web_lg' model using</p>
  <pre><code>import spacy.cli
  spacy.cli.download(&quot;en_core_web_lg&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p>and I get a message saying</p>
  <pre><code>✔ Download and installation successful
  You can now load the model via spacy.load('en_core_web_lg')
  </code></pre>
  <p>However then when i try to load the model</p>
  <pre><code>nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_lg')
  </code></pre>
  <p>the following error is printed:</p>
  <pre><code>OSError: [E050] Can't find model 'en_core_web_lg'. It doesn't seem to be a shortcut link, a Python package or a valid path to a data directory.
  </code></pre>
  <p>Could anyone help me with this problem?</p>
