Prerequisites for Debian

This page shows how to install the standard dependencies of apertium (and related packages) on Debian / Ubuntu / Mint / other Debian-based operating systems.

Install the apertium dependencies with apt-get like this:

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

If you need vislcg3/cg-proc/cg-comp (Constraint Grammar), you should also do:

sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libgoogle-perftools-dev libicu-dev cmake

Once you've installed these packages, continue to Minimal installation from SVN.

(Note: it is possible to install apertium and some language pairs using apt-get, but the versions there are often out of date. It is not recommended if you want to do development.)
