Hi @ronaldcturner,
Both spaCy and Prodigy use standard Python approaches to distribution and installation. We're pretty confident these are working correctly: we usually get errors within minutes if something's breaking. There are tens of thousands of spaCy installations, and a few thousand Prodigy installations. Nothing is different about installing on AWS.
You can find detailed setup instructions for spaCy here: https://spacy.io/usage . You should probably start fresh, I'm not sure what might have gone wrong with your local state.
If you still can't get it set up, you might try looking for a consultant to help you. You can try the consultant thread here: spaCy/prodigy consultants? . But since this is a spaCy issue rather than a specific Prodigy issue, you might actually have better luck on a more general platform. For instance, there are many people advertising spaCy experience here: https://www.upwork.com/search/profiles/?nbs=1&q=spaCy
