Alpino combined Binary/Source Distribution

Alpino is a dependency parser for Dutch, developed in the context of the PIONIER Project Algorithms for Linguistic Processing. This document concerns the binary/source distribution of Alpino. Be prepared for some work, if you care to install from the sources. If you intend to use the binaries, assuming these are available from your platform, then you should have no problems. Note that each of the binary distributions contain all the sources as well.

Installing Alpino

• Recently tested platforms: Linux both 32bit and 64bit versions. Experimental version for Windows 32bit, and for Mac OS X.
• Download and unpack an appropriate version from Alpino versions. If you want to compile the sources, then simply pick a version - each version also contains all the sources.
• Check the file INSTALL in the Alpino directory.
• Quick start (binary distribution): make sure that the ALPINO_HOME environment variable points to the Alpino directory. Run $(ALPINO_HOME)/bin/Alpino.
