NAME

INSTALL - installation instructions

SYNOPSIS

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

DESCRIPTION

Dependencies

Two modules are required by WordNet::SenseRelate:

WordNet::QueryData
WordNet::Similarity

Both modules are available from CPAN.

This module also requires that WordNet be installed. WordNet is a machine-readable dictionary and can be downloaded from http://cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/.

Detailed Installation Instructions

Before installing this library, the dependencies listed above must first be resolved.

If you have superuser (root) access, you should be able to install WordNet::SenseRelate by following these simple steps:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test  # optional, but recommended
su         # or sudo, as the case may be
make install

If you need to install this distribution in your local user account because you lack superuser privileges, then the recommended method on Unix-like systems (Linux, Solaris, Cygwin) is as follows:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/senserelate LIB=~/lib
make
make test
make install

This will install the executable scripts into ~/senserelate/bin, the man pages in ~/senserelate/man, and the libraries into ~/lib. You will need to set your PERL5LIB variable to point to the LIB directory.

In bash:

export PERL5LIB=~/lib

In csh or tcsh:

setenv PERL5LIB ~/lib

Add these lines to your .bashrc, .bash_profile, or .cshrc files as the case may be.
