Prerequisites for Arch Linux

This page shows how to install the standard dependencies of apertium (and related packages) on Arch Linux.

Install the apertium dependencies with pacman like this:

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

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

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

(Note: it is possible to install apertium and some language pairs from AUR, but the versions there are often out of date.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