Core dependencies

In order to compile and use Inuktitut language morphology and dictionaries, you need:

• an FST compiler: HFST, Foma or Xerox Xfst
• VislCG3 Constraint Grammar tools

To install VislCG3 and HFST, just copy/paste this into your Terminal on Mac OS X:

curl https://apertium.projectjj.com/osx/install-nightly.sh | sudo bash

or terminal on Ubuntu, Debian or Windows Subsystem for Linux:

wget https://apertium.projectjj.com/apt/install-nightly.sh -O - | sudo bash
sudo apt-get install cg3 hfst

or terminal on RedHat, Fedora, CentOS or Windows Subsystem for Linux:

wget https://apertium.projectjj.com/rpm/install-nightly.sh -O - | sudo bash
sudo dnf install cg3 hfst

Alternatively, the Apertium wiki has good instructions on how to install the dependencies for Mac OS X and how to install the dependencies on linux

Further details and dependencies are described on the GiellaLT Getting Started pages.
