# Apertium-Init (a.k.a. Apertium Bootstrap)

[](https://travis-ci.org/apertium/apertium-init) [](https://pypi.org/project/apertium-init/) [](https://pypi.org/project/apertium-init/)

Bootstrap Apertium language modules and pairs using apertium-init.py.

## Usage

First, <a href=”https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apertium/bootstrap/master/apertium-init.py” download>download the script</a> or install from [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/apertium-init/) with pip install apertium-init.

Usage depends on the desired module and is described below. Remember to search for TODO in the generated module to add example sentences, etc.

### Monolingual Lttoolbox module

To bootstrap a monolingual language module apertium-foo using the [lttoolbox](http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Lttoolbox) formalism,

python3 apertium-init.py foo

To bootstrap and compile it at the same time,

python3 apertium-init.py foo && ( cd apertium-foo/ && ./autogen.sh && make )

### Monlingual HFST module

To bootstrap a monolingual language module apertium-foo using the [HFST](http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/HFST) formalism,

python3 apertium-init.py foo –analyser=hfst

To bootstrap and compile it at the same time,

python3 apertium-init.py foo –analyser=hfst && ( cd apertium-foo/ && ./autogen.sh && make )

### Bilingual Lttoolbox module

To bootstrap a bilingual language module apertium-foo-bar where the monolingual packages apertium-foo and apertium-bar both use the [lttoolbox](http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Lttoolbox) formalism,

python3 apertium-init.py foo-bar

To bootstrap and compile it at the same time,

python3 apertium-init.py foo-bar && ( cd apertium-foo-bar/ && ./autogen.sh && make test)

### Bilingual HFST/Lttoolbox module

To bootstrap a bilingual language module apertium-foo-bar where the monolingual packages apertium-foo and apertium-bar use the [HFST](http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Lttoolbox) formalism and/or the [lttoolbox](http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Lttoolbox) formalism,

python3 apertium-init.py foo-bar –analysers=hfst # Both foo and bar use HFST python3 apertium-init.py foo-bar –analyser1=hfst # Only foo (first language) uses HFST python3 apertium-init.py foo-bar –analyser2=hfst # Only bar (second language) uses HFST

To bootstrap and compile it at the same time,

python3 apertium-init.py foo-bar –analysers=hfst && ( cd apertium-foo-bar/ && ./autogen.sh && make test) # Both foo and bar use HFST python3 apertium-init.py foo-bar –analyser1=hfst && ( cd apertium-foo-bar/ && ./autogen.sh && make test) # Only foo (first language) uses HFST python3 apertium-init.py foo-bar –analyser2=hfst && ( cd apertium-foo-bar/ && ./autogen.sh && make test) # Only bar (second language) uses HFST

## Development

After updating vanilla files, run ./updateBootstraper.py to update the relevant encoded files in apertium-init.py. Or, run make in the root of the repository to update all the encoded files.

You can also do sudo make install to install to /usr/local/bin/apertium-init or e.g. PREFIX=$HOME/local make install to install to $HOME/local/bin/apertium-init.
