There are three stages to installing apertium on Unix-based operating systems (GNU/Linux, Mac etc.):
*[[Minimal installation from SVN]] -- this is most likely what you want if you're running GNU/Linux or Mac
# Install prerequisites specific to your operating system

If you're using Windows, the best method is to run the [[Apertium VirtualBox]], which lets you run a Unix in your Windows and comes with Apertium pre-installed. Alternatively, there is a simple script at [[Apertium guide for Windows users]] or a more manual method at [[Apertium on Windows|guide using Cygwin]].

There are three stages to installing apertium on Unix-based operating systems (GNU/Linux, Mac etc.):

  1. Install prerequisites specific to your operating system
  2. Install apertium and related packages from SVN
  3. Fix any problems :)

If you're using Windows, the best method is to run the Apertium VirtualBox, which lets you run a Unix in your Windows and comes with Apertium pre-installed. Alternatively, there is a simple script at Apertium guide for Windows users or a more manual method at guide using Cygwin.

Note: some language pairs (eg. apertium-br-fr, apertium-nn-nb) require Constraint Grammar in addition to Apertium and lttoolbox, see the section on installing vislcg3.
