Sean,

Nice to meet you. Thank you for your high-quality work on cTAKES.

I will create the dictionary with the latest ICD10 data and contribute back
my documentation + artifacts. My only question is with step 3: *"Select a
UMLS installation directory. This is the directory containing the META/
subdirectory (which contains RRF files). After selecting the UMLS
installation directory, the available vocabularies are gathered."* -
basically, I have been providing my UMLS user/pass to the cTAKES Docker
solution and letting it take care of the rest. I suppose I'm going to have
to download and configure a custom UMLS dataset installation. This is
correct?

Thanks,

Matthew Vita
