Hi all,

I am using this line to train and save my model

```python
 !python -m prodigy train --ner ner_location_distinction en_core_web_lg 
--output C:\Users\Documents\Prodigy\models\temp_model --eval-split 0.2

```

But get the error: No such option: --output

The traceback is given below:

Hi @Zim1-finest , there's no `--output` parameter in the train method. Instead, you supply the path of the output model as a positional argument. You can do it like this:

```python
python -m prodigy train C:\Users\Documents\Prodigy\models\temp_models
    --eval-split 0.2 \
    --ner ner_location_distinction \
    --base-model en_core_web_lg

```

You can check more in the [documentation](https://prodi.gy/docs/recipes#train) or by running:

```python
python -m prodigy train --help

```
