There are example init scripts in <code>apertium-apy/tools/{systemd,upstart,sysvinit}</code>; if you're running a fairly recent Ubuntu (15.04 or newer) or Debian (jessie or newer), then you should follow the instructions from <code>[https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/apertium-tools/apertium-apy/tools/systemd/README apertium-apy/tools/systemd/README]</code>. |

This is a quickstart guide to setting up your very own Apertium API server on Debian-based systems (including Ubuntu).
Why?
Running your own API server means
- you get to decide what kinds of crazy half-finished language pairs to serve (or you can just serve a few of the high-quality ones that you like)
- you can run Apertium within your super-fortified network without your highly confidential translations touching anyone else's computer
- you don't have to worry about anyone else's API server going down right when you need it the most
- you have control over how many concurrent apertium processes you run (if your site or program calls plain `apertium` on each request, you can easily overload your server)

Quickstart
Install apt-repo and APY:
wget http://apertium.projectjj.com/apt/install-nightly.sh sudo bash install-nightly.sh sudo apt-get install apertium-apy
And install the language pairs you want:
sudo apt-get install apertium-eng-kaz apertium-sme-nob apertium-hbs-mkd apertium-eo-en apertium-tat-rus # etc.
(Here we're assuming you only want packaged pairs, see Installation on how to install SVN pairs.)
Now try starting APY and checking its status:
sudo systemctl start apertium-apy sudo systemctl status apertium-apy
It should look like
● apertium-apy.service - Apertium APY service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apertium-apy.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since må. 2016-06-13 11:38:10 CEST; 3s ago Docs: http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Apertium-apy Main PID: 14813 (python3) CGroup: /system.slice/apertium-apy.service └─14813 /usr/bin/python3 servlet.py /usr/share/apertium/modes juni 13 11:38:10 gamlepadda systemd[1]: Started Apertium APY service. juni 13 11:38:11 gamlepadda python3[14813]: [W 160613 11:38:11 servlet:865] Unable to import CLD2, continuing using naive method of lang juni 13 11:38:11 gamlepadda python3[14813]: [I 160613 11:38:11 servlet:792] 7 pair modes found juni 13 11:38:11 gamlepadda python3[14813]: [I 160613 11:38:11 servlet:792] 0 analyzer modes found juni 13 11:38:11 gamlepadda python3[14813]: [I 160613 11:38:11 servlet:792] 0 generator modes found juni 13 11:38:11 gamlepadda python3[14813]: [I 160613 11:38:11 servlet:792] 0 tagger modes found juni 13 11:38:11 gamlepadda python3[14813]: [I 160613 11:38:11 servlet:898] Serving at http://localhost:2737
Press q to get your terminal back.
Testing it out
Open a new terminal to check that it's OK:
curl http://localhost:2737/listPairs
It should contain a list of pairs.
Say the list contains {"sourceLanguage": "sme", "targetLanguage": "nob"}
, then we can try translating the sentence "in leat doppe" from sme to nob:
curl 'http://localhost:2737/translate?langpair=sme|nob&q=in+leat+doppe'
That should give something like {"responseData": {"translatedText": "jeg er ikke der borte"}, "responseDetails": null, "responseStatus": 200}
.
If everything worked, congrats, you have your own Apertium API server running! You can enable it on startup with
sudo systemctl enable apertium-apy
Now open port 2737 in your firewall and point your website or app at it :-)
If you ran into trouble, please ask for help on IRC or the mailing list.
