Quality control framework/Installation

Downloading

The Apertium SVN module is copied periodically from the git repository.

Using SVN

$ svn co https://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium-tools/apertium-quality

Using git

If you have git, you can clone the repository like so:

$ git clone git://github.com/bbqsrc/apertiumqa.git

Tarball

If you don't have git or SVN (or don't want them), you can just download the tarball like so:

$ wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/bbqsrc/apertiumqa/tarball/master
$ tar xf bbqsrc-apertiumqa-XXXXXXX.tar.gz

Installation

As root

To install traditionally to the Python library directory on your system:

# python setup.py install

Rootless Environment

To install in a rootless environment, you can create your own personal "system root". A sysroot at a minimum contains a bin/ and lib/ directory, so you may use your $HOME/local directory for this (and it will be used in this example.) To setup a root in your home:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/local/lib/python2.x/site-packages # where 2.x == whichever Python version you're using
$ export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/local/lib/python2.x/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/local/bin
$ python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME/local

You may also add the export lines to your ~/.bashrc so that it is automatically set when you enter your shell.

Python egg

You may also create a Python egg. If you don't know what this is, you don't need to know.

$ python setup.py bdist_egg
