## Installation

First, download and install the latest version of the link-grammar

library from

[Abiword's site](http://www.abisource.com/projects/link-grammar/#download).

Then install the gem:

    gem install linkparser

You may need to specify the path to the link-grammar library if you

installed it somewhere that your linker doesn't look by default:

    gem install linkparser -- --with-link-grammar=/usr/local

## Contributing

You can check out the current development source

[with Mercurial](https://hg.sr.ht/~ged/linkparser),

or if you prefer Git, via

[its Github mirror](http://github.com/ged/linkparser).

After checking out the source, run:

    $ gen install -Ng

    $ rake setup

This will install any missing dependencies and do any neceesary developer setup.
