Ubuntu – How to install SRILM on ubuntu 14.04

14.04software installationtools

SRILM is a tool for Language Modelling in Natural Language Processing (NLP), http://www.speech.sri.com/projects/srilm/

There is no clear installation guide to install SRILM on ubuntu 14.04. There was one for 11.10 but it is outdated and it doesn't work properly. http://www.spencegreen.com/2012/02/01/installing-srilm-on-ubuntu-11-10/

Does anyone know how to install SRILM on Ubuntu 14.04?

Best Answer

I have already installed to srilm on Ubuntu 14.04. Following are the commands:

mkdir /usr/share/srilm
mv srilm.tgz /usr/share/srilm
cd /usr/share/srilm
tar xzf srilm.tgz

In the Makefile, uncomment the SRILM= parameter and point it to /usr/share/srilm (or your equivalent path).

The run the following commands in Supper user mode:

tcsh
make NO_TCL=1 MACHINE_TYPE=i686-gcc4 World (if you are using 64 bit system then i686 to replace with x86_64)
./bin/i686-gcc4/ngram-count -help

Final Update

I found two repository but I do not recommend

OpenJDK builds (all archs)
```
  ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
```
OpenJDK 8 backport for trusty
```
  ppa:jochenkemnade/openjdk-8
```

If you really want to use OpenJDK, you have to compile from source. There is not still any PPA for OpenJDK.

It has been requested at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1297065

I recommend you to use Webup8 Oracle Java8 Installer

Note: WebUpd8 team's PPA has been discontinued with effective from April 16, 2019. Thus this PPA doesn't have any Java files. More information can be found on PPA's page on Launchpad. Hence the below method no longer works and exists because of historical reasons.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

To automatically set up the Java 8 environment variables

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

Check it

java -version

So you have to wait to use OpenJDK8

Ubuntu – Install & configure MAME for Ubuntu 14.04

What you need is to install the following 2 packages:

That will do it.
