Installation on Abel

module purge
module load python3/3.5.0

mkdir /projects/nlpl/software/nltk
virtualenv /projects/nlpl/software/nltk/3.3

Next, we need to create a module definition, in this case /projects/nlpl/software/modulefiles/nlpl-nltk/3.3; make sure to establish the environment variable $NLTK_DATA, pointing to the data sub-directory of the NLTK tree, as established by the command-line data download below.

module load nlpl-nltk/3.3
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade $(pip list | tail -n +3 | gawk '{print $1}')

Finally, install the NLTK code and all data packages.

pip install nltk
python -m nltk.downloader -d /projects/nlpl/software/nltk/3.3/data all
