Running OpenNMT on Windows - AttributeError: ‘Namespace’ object has no attribute ‘fix_word_vecs_enc’

I have a translation model I’m trying to integrate in to a python application on Windows. I’ve successfully used the model on Linux Subsystem for Windows but when I try it on Windows I’m having problems.

I use the command:

onmt_translate -model path/to/model.pt -src path/to/source.txt -output path/to/output.txt -verbose -replace_unk

And get the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: ‘Namespace’ object has no attribute ‘fix_word_vecs_enc’

Anybody know why this happens on Windows and not on Linux or what I can do to fix it?

Found the answer to my question. In the GitHub repository (https://github.com/OpenNMT/OpenNMT-py) it says:

Some advanced features (e.g. working pretrained models or specific transforms) require extra packages, you can install them with:

pip install -r requirements.opt.txt

I did the install and it works now
