The downloader script is broken. As a temporal workaround can manually download the punkt tokenizer from here and then place the unzipped folder in the corresponding location. The default folders for each OS are:

Windows: C:\nltk_data\tokenizers

OSX: /usr/local/share/nltk_data/tokenizers

Unix: /usr/share/nltk_data/tokenizers

Required libraries:

• $ pip install keyboard
• $ pip install pyjokes
• $ pip install playsound
