Unix users (GNU/Linux, Mac, BSD) should follow these three stages to installing core apertium packages and language data:
- Install prerequisites specific to your operating system
- Install apertium and related packages from SVN
- Follow Minimal installation from SVN, this should be general enough to cover all operating systems
- Fix any problems :)
- General Installation Troubleshooting
For Windows users, the best method is to run the Apertium VirtualBox, which lets you run a Unix in your Windows (and comes with Apertium from SVN pre-installed). Alternatively, you can compile it for Windows using Cygwin; there is a simple script at Apertium guide for Windows users, and documentation for how to do it manually at Apertium on Windows.
Some language pairs require extra packages like Constraint Grammar (vislcg3) or HFST in addition to apertium/lttoolbox/apertium-lex-tools. See the section on installing vislcg3 and HFST, respectively. You can tell if a package requires CG if it has an .rlx file, and HFST if it has a .lexc file.
There are released tarball packages on the official download page. These are meant for packagers, and user who are not going to develop on apertium. These are installed like the SVN packages, except you use ./configure instead of ./autogen.sh.
Android users can download the Apertium offline translator app, more info at Apertium Android.
