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

== 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 === |
|||
sudo su |
|||
''enter your root password'' |
|||
apt-get install subversion g++ libxml2 libxml2-dev xsltproc flex automake1.9 autoconf libtool |
|||
''Then click yes'' |
|||
''Wait till the packages are downloaded and installed'' |
|||
The version of automake of Edgy is too old (1.4 instead of 1.9), so |
|||
go to ltoolbox directory (cd apertium ; cd ltoolbox) |
|||
(apt-get remove automake) |
|||
open with a text editor "autogen.sh" and change "aclocal-1.9" in "aclocal" |
|||
and "automake-1.9" in "automake" |
|||
''' ''This page is out-of-date, you should probably be reading [[Installation]] instead.'' ''' |
|||
./autogen.sh |
|||
./autogen.sh (yes twice) |
|||
./configure |
|||
make |
|||
Create an apertium directory with |
|||
''mkdir apertium'' |
|||
''' ''This page is out-of-date, you should probably be reading [[Installation]] instead.'' ''' |
|||
== 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> |
|||
''enter your password and Wait till the packages are downloaded and installed.'' |
|||
Step 2: '''Download apertium, lttoolbox and language pairs from SVN.''' |
|||
<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 apertium |
||
cd lttoolbox/ |
|||
svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium |
|||

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

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

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.
