For a class I am taking (Applied Linguistics) the class has just been given an assignment from a guest lecturer involving python and the Natural Language Toolkit (NTLK). I need to do the work on my Xubuntu 14.04 laptop, as I have no computers with any kind of current Windows.
Here are the instructions: ----- I'd also like them to check out the NLTK website at http://www.nltk.org/ and do the following: 1) install python and NLTK following these instructions: http://www.nltk.org/install.html a) install the NLTK data following these instructions: http://www.nltk.org/data.html Rather than follow the instructions at ntlk.org/install I just found python-ntlk in Synaptic and installed it. Apparently this also installed numpy. Then I tried to follow this to download the data: ----- from the ntlk.org/install page: To install the data, first install NLTK (see http://nltk.org/install.html), then use NLTK’s data downloader as described below. ... Reading through the rest of the download options the only one that made any sense was: Run the command python -m nltk.downloader all ----- But this command just gave a 404 (not found) error. I should get this done by class time Friday, but at the moment I am stuck and there is little point in asking the professor or guest lecturer as it is clear that they only know how to do these things on Windows. On the other hand I am just auditing the class, so it's not the end of the world if I can't get it done. Yet, as a Linux user I am compelled to do my best to get it working on Linux. Oh, and all I know about python is that it is some kind of programming language. Any ideas or suggestions welcome! _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
