If you have limited bandwidth or disk space, you might consider to download and install just 3 things:

  • lttoolbox
  • apertium
  • the language pair(s) your are interested in

Here are the commands if you would like the Esperanto-English pair:

svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/lttoolbox
svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium
svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium-eo-en

To see the available language pairs, go to https://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/.

Typically, Apertium is installed under the directory /usr/local. However, if you want it installed somewhere else or don't want to install it as root, do:

$ PREFIX=/path/to/where/I/want/Apertium

Then, in each of the downloaded directories, do:

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix $PREFIX
$ make
$ make install

(If you didn't specify a prefix, use sudo make install.)

Language pairs that use CG

For Breton → French, and other pairs which use CG, you need:

svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/lttoolbox
svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium
svn co http://beta.visl.sdu.dk/svn/visl/tools/vislcg3/trunk
svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium-br-fr

Install vislcg3 like Apertium. Note that you have to have ICU installed beforehand.
