For '''Windows''' users, 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]].

Some language pairs require extra packages like '''Constraint Grammar''' (vislcg3) or '''HFST''' in addition to apertium/lttoolbox/apertium-lex-tools. See the section on [[Apertium and Constraint Grammar#Installing_VISL_CG3|installing vislcg3]] and [[HFST]], respectively. You can tell if a package requires CG if it has an .rlx file, and HFST if it has a .lexc file.

Unix users (GNU/Linux, Mac, BSD) should follow these three stages to installing core apertium packages and language data:

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

For Windows users, the best method is to run the Apertium VirtualBox, which lets you run a Unix in your Windows (and comes with Apertium from SVN pre-installed). Alternatively, you can compile it for Windows using Cygwin; there is a simple script at Apertium guide for Windows users, and documentation for how to do it manually at Apertium on Windows.

Some language pairs require extra packages like Constraint Grammar (vislcg3) or HFST in addition to apertium/lttoolbox/apertium-lex-tools. See the section on installing vislcg3 and HFST, respectively. You can tell if a package requires CG if it has an .rlx file, and HFST if it has a .lexc file.

There are released tarball packages on the official download page. These are meant for packagers, and user who are not going to develop on apertium. These are installed like the SVN packages, except you use ./configure instead of ./autogen.sh.

Android users can download the Apertium offline translator app, more info at Apertium Android.
