• Are you using a dedicated environment for your project ? it seems that you use pip linked to python 3.13 whereas numpy version wants <3.9 – rehaqds Commented Mar 14 at 21:40

The error message shows you need a newer version of GCC:

NumPy requires GCC >= 8.4

You have GCC 6.3.0 from MinGW, which is too old for NumPy 2.0.2.

Potential Fixes

1. Use pre-built wheels:

   Instead of building from source you can use pre-compiled package.

   pip install -U pip
   pip install --only-binary=all spacy
   

2. Try older versions:

   pip install spacy==3.5.3
   

   Or:

   pip install numpy==1.24.3
   pip install spacy
   

3. Update GCC:

   • Install newer MinGW/MSYS2 with GCC 8.4+
   • Add to PATH

4. Use conda:

   conda install -c conda-fe spacy
   

From your error message, you were trying to install spacy 3.8.2 using Python 3.13 on a Windows machine. However Spacy 3.8.2 only has wheels for Python 3.9 - 3.12.

It is listed that the latest version (i.e. spacy 3.8.5) supports Python 3.9 - 3.13 but I can only see wheels for Python 3.9 - 3.12 in the latest release.

I suggest you downgrade to Python 3.12 and run pip install spacy again.
