There a various releases of Ubunutu :
*Dapper Drake
*Edgy Eft
*Feisty Fawn
*Gutsy Gibbon


{{TOCD}}
== Dapper Drake ==
Old installation instructions for Ubuntu/Debian and similar.


Several programs that are needed cannot be installed easily on Dapper Drake, because the version available with apt-get are too old. We suggest to install a newer version of Ubuntu as for example Edgy Eft or Feisty Fawn


== Edgy Eft ==




This is guide to install Apertium under Ubuntu Edgy Eft, aka Ubuntu 6.10


=== Installing by SVN ===


<pre>
sudo -s
</pre>


''enter your root password''




<pre>
apt-get install subversion build-essential g++ pkg-config libxml2 libxml2-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc flex automake autoconf libtool libpcre3-dev
</pre>


''' ''This page is out-of-date, you should probably be reading [[Installation]] instead.'' '''
''Then click yes.''


''Wait till the packages are downloaded and installed.''


<pre>
exit
</pre>




Go to the root of your home directory


<pre>
cd
</pre>


<pre>
mkdir local
mkdir source
cd source
</pre>




<pre>
svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk apertium
</pre>


Go to lttoolbox directory with


''' ''This page is out-of-date, you should probably be reading [[Installation]] instead.'' '''
<pre>
cd apertium/lttoolbox
</pre>


Then launch autogen.sh


<pre>


./autogen.sh


</pre>


Launch configure (Replace $USER by your user name)


<pre>
./configure --prefix=/home/$USER/local/
</pre>


Launch make


<pre>make</pre>


That last command may takes some minutes.


<pre>make install</pre>


<pre> cd .. </pre>
<pre> cd apertium </pre>



<pre>PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/$USER/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/$USER/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/home/$USER/local/









== Installing the not-quite-recent package (simple) ==

If you just want to '''use Apertium''' for translation, and don't want to develop anything, you can probably just search for, tick off and install Apertium and your favorite language pairs in Synaptic. There's a friendly [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto Synaptic HOWTO here]. This should install the required dependencies too.


If you want to '''contribute''' to Apertium or change how it runs in any way, you'll want to install from SVN. Read on below.

== Installing the newest version from SVN (more complicated) ==


Step 1: '''install the prerequisites.'''
Open a terminal window and type
<pre>
sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential pkg-config gawk libxml2 \
libxml2-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc flex automake libtool libpcre3-dev zlib1g
</pre>
</pre>
''enter your password and Wait till the packages are downloaded and installed.''


Do not forget to replace (twice) $USER by your Ubuntu user name.


Step 2: '''Download apertium, lttoolbox and language pairs from SVN.'''
<pre>
<pre>
svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/ apertium
</pre>
''Note'': The above checkout will download '''lots of files (over 8Gb)''' with all the released language pairs. If you have limited bandwidth or disk space (or time), please follow the [[Minimal installation from SVN]] instead.


Step 3: '''Compile and install lttoolbox.'''
<pre>
cd apertium
cd lttoolbox/
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh
make
make
make install
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
cd ..
</pre>
</pre>



You have then to compile the language pairs that you want to use. It is the same procedure for every pair, we would give an example with apertium-fr-es
Step 4: '''Compile and install apertium.'''
<pre>
<pre>
cd ..
cd apertium-fr-es/
cd apertium/
sh autogen.sh
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/$USER/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/home/$USER/local/
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh
make
make
make install
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
</pre>
</pre>


If compilation does not work, you might need to add the directory with Apertium binaries to your path:


Step 5: '''You can now compile the language pairs that you want to use.''' It's the same procedure for every pair.

''Note: we give an example with apertium-fr-es''
<pre>
<pre>
cd ..
export PATH=$PATH:/home/$USER/local/bin
cd apertium-fr-es/
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
</pre>
</pre>


Make a test


Step 6: '''Try it out'''
<pre>
<pre>
echo "J'ai deux frères" | apertium fr-es
echo "J'ai deux frères" | apertium fr-es
</pre>
</pre>
Replace $USER with your Ubuntu user name.

==Troubleshooting==
=== Installing tarball (tar.gz) ===
See [[Installation troubleshooting]].
The tarball howto is not finnished yet.


Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143781&package_id=159345 and download the latest version

tar xzvf lttoolbox-2.0.3.tar.gz (or put the name of a newer version)
cd lttoolbox-2.0.3/
./configure
sudo su
(enter your password)
make

Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143781&package_id=157932 and download the latest version (2.0.3 as of June 2007)

tar xzvf apertium-2.0.3.tar.gz (or put the name of a newer version)
cd apertium-2.0.3.tar.gz
./configure

== Feisty ==

=== From Ubuntu's repository ===

An old version of Apertium is available for Feisty (http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/apertium)


Example: installing apertium and apertium-es-ca
<code>sudo apt-get install apertium apertium-es-ca</code>
or
System -> Administration -> Synaptic -> Search apertium-es-ca -> Install


=== From SVN ===

Same as for Edgy

== Gutsy Gibbon ==
There is an apertium version in ubuntu repository and you can do the same like Feisty.

== Source ==

Installing the not-quite-recent package (simple)[edit]

If you just want to use Apertium for translation, and don't want to develop anything, you can probably just search for, tick off and install Apertium and your favorite language pairs in Synaptic. There's a friendly Synaptic HOWTO here. This should install the required dependencies too.


If you want to contribute to Apertium or change how it runs in any way, you'll want to install from SVN. Read on below.

Installing the newest version from SVN (more complicated)[edit]

Step 1: install the prerequisites. Open a terminal window and type 

sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential pkg-config gawk libxml2 \
libxml2-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc flex automake libtool libpcre3-dev zlib1g

enter your password and Wait till the packages are downloaded and installed.


Step 2: Download apertium, lttoolbox and language pairs from SVN. 

svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/ apertium

Note: The above checkout will download lots of files (over 8Gb) with all the released language pairs. If you have limited bandwidth or disk space (or time), please follow the Minimal installation from SVN instead.


Step 3: Compile and install lttoolbox. 

cd apertium
cd lttoolbox/
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig


Step 4: Compile and install apertium. 

cd ..
cd apertium/
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig


Step 5: You can now compile the language pairs that you want to use. It's the same procedure for every pair.

Note: we give an example with apertium-fr-es 

cd ..
cd apertium-fr-es/
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install


Step 6: Try it out 

echo "J'ai deux frères" | apertium fr-es

Updating[edit]

If you edit the linguistic data, do not forget to type "make" to update, and "sudo make install" to install the updated data.

Compiling all the linguistic data[edit]

To compile all the pairs without typing each directory once you can use the following script: 

list=`ls -d apertium-??-??` # list of folders with a name like apertium-xx-xx
for folder in $list 
do
 cd $folder >> ../compile.txt
 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh >> ../compile.txt
 make >> ../compile.txt
 sudo make install >> ../compile.txt
 cd ..
done

Run the script, and go and make a cup of coffee… this could take a while.

Inside compile.txt you can see some of the results of the compilation.
