pip install speech recognition

for pyaudio installation-

                      pip install pipwin
                      pipwin install pyaudio

for chatterbot installation_

                         pip install Chatterbot

                         pip install spacy==2.3.3(dependancy of the chatterbot module)
                         
                         run cmd as administrator
                         
                         run- python -m spacy download en(this should be done in the directory of lib/sites and packages in python)

This works well for python 3.7 . Not sure if it would work for other versions.There is only one yaml folder for chatbot corpusle training. You can get it from gunthercox chat corplusles.Try it and let me know.
