There are two options for installing on Mac OS X, "system" and "local".

  • Apertium on Mac OS X (System) — The fastest and easiest way is to install in your main system path (that is in /usr/local), choose this if you have root access on your system.
  • Apertium on Mac OS X (Local) — The second way is to install locally (that is in your home directory, e.g. /Users/myname/Local), this is more contained but slower and more difficult, choose this if you don't have root, or want to make the Apertium installation completely separated from your main system. This can be better for developers.

If you do not have experience compiling source code, you can also follow a more user-friendly guide, here, which walks you through every step


Note that the Mac terminal is using LC_CTYPE instead of LANG to know which charset to use.
