Apertium on Arch Linux

Instructions for installing Apertium and language pairs on Arch Linux.

Installing the released packages

These should all be available through AUR. If you have yaourt installed, installing a language pair like Esperanto-English is simply a matter of

 yaourt -S apertium-eo-en

The following command will work better and this will install the apertium package itself.

#aurget --deps -Sy --nodiscard --noedit --noconfirm --asroot apertium

which will install the dependencies too. If not, follow the instructions on http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Installing_Packages_from_the_AUR. You'll find a list of language pairs in AUR at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=apertium

Install the prerequisites:

 sudo pacman -S expat gawk libxslt pcre gcc-libs libxml2 icu

(Note: icu is only needed if you need to install vislcg3, which is required for certain language pairs.)
