The error message you're encountering indicates that the punkt_tab resource is not found in your NLTK installation. 

The punkt_tab tokenizer is necessary for sentence tokenization and needs to be downloaded separately. 

To resolve this error, follow these steps: 

Open your Python environment (such as a Jupyter notebook, Python script, or interactive Python shell). 

 

Download the required NLTK resource by running the following commands: 

import nltk 

nltk.download('punkt_tab') 

The nltk.download('punkt_tab') command will download the necessary tokenizers to your NLTK data directory, and you should be able to use sent_tokenize without any issues. 

Once you installed one time punk_tab then no need to download again and again.
