# Chalk



NOTE: This project is currently dormant with no current prospect for further development. Suggestion: check out OpenNLP or StanfordNLP for the JVM or spaCy for Python. (If anyone would like to do something like spaCy for Scala, that would be *fantastic*.)



## Introduction



Chalk is a library for natural language processing (NLP).



### What's inside



The latest stable version is 1.3.2. Changes from the previous release include:



* Initial implementation of functional pipelines for NLP applications, and actor-based pipelines based on those components.



See the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/scalanlp/chalk/wiki/CHANGELOG) for changes in previous versions.



## Using Chalk



In SBT:



    libraryDependencies += "org.scalanlp" %% "chalk" % "1.3.0"



In Maven:



    

       org.scalanlp

       chalk

       1.3.0

    



## Requirements



* Version 1.6 of the Java 2 SDK (http://java.sun.com)



## Configuring your environment variables



Set `JAVA_HOME` to match the top level directory containing the Java installation you want to use. If you want to be able to use the `chalk` command line executable, set `CHALK_DIR` to where you put Chalk, and then add the directory `CHALK_DIR/bin` to your path.



## Building the system from source



Chalk uses SBT (Simple Build Tool) with a standard directory structure.  To build Chalk, type (in the `CHALK_DIR` directory):



	$ ./build update compile



This will compile the source files and put them in `./target/classes`. If this is your first time running it, you will see messages about Scala being downloaded -- this is fine and expected. Once that is over, the Chalk code will be compiled.



To try out other build targets, do:



	$ ./build



To make sure all the tests pass, do:



	$ ./build test



Documentation for SBT is at
