Easy installation (around 15 reading the manual)

The authors suggest that the software can deal with huge corpora quickly.

Manual.

Corpus.

Hidex is intended to produce Hal models introduced by Curt Burgess in 1996.

The software is extremely new (it is in the version 0.03) so it is hard to know if it works adequately.

I have not tested the software yet.

Check whether you have the right c++ compiler

g++ -v

You should have version 4.2 or higher

Download the tar file and untar it in the desired location

tar xzf hidex.[version].tgz

Go to the directory and compile the program

make index

You should now change a line in the file Makefile, in particular you would like to change the variable BINDIR. It should looke like:

#BINDIR=~/bin
BINDIR=/usr/local/bin

Now run in the terminal:

sudo make install

By now you should be done.
