Dear Apertiumers, I am trying to develop Apertium based morphological analyzer for a quite low resource language and would like to seek guidance from you on how I can proceed technically. Of course, I read about the different components of the software for building but still have trouble understanding and even installing the package on my laptop. I am grateful for your support! Best regards, Fatouma
