Apertium-quality/Installation

Requirements

You must have:

• Python >=3.1

Recommended for installation:

• python3-lxml [1]
• python3-nltk (Available in my repository; explained later)

All other dependencies are installed automatically.

With easy_install

If you have easy_install installed for Python 3, just run:

easy_install apertium-quality

From source

The source code can be acquired in a few ways.

Git:

git clone git://github.com/bbqsrc/apertium-quality.git

SVN:

svn co https://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium-tools/apertium-quality

Tarball:

wget https://github.com/bbqsrc/apertium-quality/tarball/master

It looks like that the 'mwtools' package apertium-quality depends on is not in Python Package Index anymore, that's why you'll have to install it manually beforehand:

git clone https://github.com/bbqsrc/mwtools.git
cd mwtools
sudo python3 ./setup.py install

With root

Installing to the root of your Python installation is easy:

./autogen.sh
make && make install && make install-nltk

Enter yes when prompted. If errors are spat about incorrect Python version being detected, tell it which Python 3 to use with the PYTHON environment variable like:

PYTHON=/path/to/python3 ./autogen.sh

Without root (user prefix)

Installation without root is no more difficult than above:

./autogen.sh --prefix ~/yourprefix
make && make install && make install-nltk

After installation, restart your terminal.

Troubleshooting

DistributionNotFound (PYTHONPATH not set)

$ aq-covtest
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/aq-covtest", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/distribute-0.6.19-py3.2.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 2710, in <module>

    raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: apertium-quality==0.3

Your PYTHONPATH is most likely not correct (when you did "make install", it told you the path to add to it).

bad marshal data

If you get the following error on make install:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Then you should do the following:

• make clean
• run make again, but as soon as possible after you see the following, you should ^Z

 Now working in /var/folders/bs/7zfncgfd4g11r80fyhbvgtph0000gq/T/tmpv32b6a/distribute-0.6.19

• you need to hit ^Z before you see this:

 copying setuptools/command/bdist_egg.py -> build/src/setuptools/command

• apply the patch below with a command like this:

 $ patch -p1 /var/folders/bs/7zfncgfd4g11r80fyhbvgtph0000gq/T/tmp_ai22w/distribute-0.6.19/setuptools/command/bdist_egg.py  < diff 

• fg and then do make install as before

Here's the patch that should go in the file "diff" above:
