NAME

tree-tagger-install-lang - install language parameter files for treetagger

SYNOPSIS

  # lists available and installed parameter files
  tree-tagger-install-lang -l

  # installs parameter file
  tree-tagger-install-lang -i PT-1

  # force installation of parameter file, with verbose mode on
  tree-tagger-install-lang -v -i -f PT-1

DESCRIPTION

Tree Tagger is a tagger, available from http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/projekte/corplex/TreeTagger/. Its manual installation is tiresome, error prone, and headache generator.

This module tries to help that:

  1. When you install the module, it will install the tree-tagger binary for your platform.

  2. It will install this tool as well (tree-tagger-install-lang) that can be used to install parameter files for different languages.

BUGS and LIMITATIONS

  • When there are multiple parameter files for the same encoding, only one can be installed at a time. The installation script detects that and warns the user. The user is able to force the installation with -f. Future releases might add alternative naming scheme.

  • The list of installed parameter files is saved under your home folder, in a dot file. Usually only the system administrator will be able to install parameter files, and therefore the dot file will be up to date with his actions. If multiple users can install parameter files each one will have a dot file, and the information will not be coherent.

  • Although more architectures are available at Tree Tagger home page, at the moment I just support linux (both 32 and 64 bits) and Mac OS X on Intel hardware. Future versions might support further architectures and operating systems. Patches are welcome.

  • The basic Tree Tagger tarballs include a lot of scripts that does not work without the respective parameter files. At the moment those scripts are installed anyway, but will not work if the respective parameter file is not available.
