You don t seem to have the stopwords corpus on your computer   You need to start the NLTK Downloader and download all the data you need   Open a Python console and do the following    gt  gt  gt  import nltk  gt  gt  gt  nltk download   showing info http   nltk github com nltk data    In the GUI window that opens simply press the  Download  button to download all corpora or go to the  Corpora  tab and only download the ones you need want

I tried from ubuntu terminal and I don t know why the GUI didn t show up according to tttthomasssss answer  So I followed the comment from KLDavenport and it worked  Here is the summary   Open your terminal command-line and type python then   gt  gt  gt  import nltk   gt  gt  gt  nltk download  stopwords     This will store the stopwords corpus under the nltk data  For my case it was  home myusername nltk data corpora stopwords   If you need another corpus then visit nltk data and find the corpus with their ID  Then use the ID to download like we did for stopwords

If you want to manually install NLTK Corpus   1  Go to http   www nltk org nltk data  and download your desired NLTK Corpus file   2  Now in a Python shell check the value of nltk data path  3  Choose one of the path that exists on your machine  and unzip the data files into the corpora sub directory inside   4  Now you can import the data from nltk corpos import stopwords  Reference  https   medium com  satorulogic how-to-manually-download-a-nltk-corpus-f01569861da9
