Hi, I ran the create_database.py but I kept getting this error:

Sorry Im very new to this But I think its a problem in my system

[Amoghk04]

I got the same issue as well. I fixed it by renaming the directory inside punkt from PY3 to PY3_tab as it was looking for that directory, i think in your case you need to rename it to punkt_tab

Resource punkt_tab not found. This error might be fixed

[barefootstache]

As the error states one is missing punkt_tab thus you need to download the required package via

python -m nltk.downloader tokenizers

This info is also found in nltk's documentation.

[redwanwalid]

Add the following lines to the create_database.py script, the error will be gone.

import nltk
nltk.download()
