Note Some of the following information are outdated, in particular about the best way to fetch alpi and run the installer. It is strongly suggested to have a look to FRMG Wiki and in particular to the installation pages

Installer la chaine complète de traitement linguistique

Il suffit de lancer le script sans options.

./alpi.pl

Installez des outils

Pour installer un outil Alpage, il suffit de taper dans un terminal:

./alpi --pkg=NomOutil'

Voir plus bas pour plus de détails et quelques exemples.

alpi télécharge les outils Alpage de trois manières:

• (Comportement par défaut mais obsolète) en téléchargeant le tar.gz de la dernière version stable via FTP. Pour installer DyALog avec alpi:

./alpi --pkg=DyALog

• en récupérant les sources les plus récents via le dépôt Subversion, de façon anonyme (le mieux)

./alpi --svn=anonymous --pkg=DyALog

• en récupérant les sources les plus récents via le dépôt Subversion avec votre identifiant sur la GForge INRIA — vous devez donc avoir un compte sur INRIA GForge et être inscrit comme membre de nos différents projets. (Voir explications à propos de l'option --svn dans la documentation complète d'alpi pour plus de détails)

./alpi --svn=mylogin --pkg=DyALog

En cas de problème lors de l'installation, nous contactez en envoyant le fichier alpi.log

Main options

Here are the main options you are likely to use if you launch alpi:

• --pkg : specify which package(s) you wish to install. When you don't mention this option, alpi will install all Alpage software, meaning the full linguistic processing chain.

./alpi --pkg=DyALog --pkg=sxpipe

• --prefix : this is where the software will be installed. The default location is $home/exportbuild ($home being your homedir, maybe something like /home/toto, if your login is toto). You can specify another location this way:

./alpi --pkg=DyALog --prefix=/home/alpage

• --skipdep : use this option when you want alpi to just install the package you have specified and NOT its dependencies. For example, frmg depends on DyALog, mgcomp, etc. If you know that these dependencies are already installed and don't want to upgrade them, you just need to type:

./alpi --pkg=frmg --skipdep

• --skippkg : use this option when you want alpi to skip the installation of a specific package. For instance if you want to install frmg and its dependencies EXCEPT DyALog, type:

./alpi --pkg=frmg --skippkg=DyALog
