Installing SyntaxNet on your systemm

SyntaxNet: Neural Models of Syntax.

Installation

Running and training SyntaxNet models requires building this package from source. You'll need to install:

• bazel:
  • follow the instructions here
  • Note: You must use bazel version 0.2.2, NOT 0.2.2b, due to a WORKSPACE issue
• swig:
  • apt-get install swig on Ubuntu
  • brew install swig on OSX
• protocol buffers, with a version supported by TensorFlow:
  • check your protobuf version with pip freeze | grep protobuf1
  • upgrade to a supported version with pip install -U protobuf==3.0.0b2
• asciitree, to draw parse trees on the console for the demo:
  • pip install asciitree

Once you completed the above steps, you can build and test SyntaxNet with the following commands:

  git clone --recursive https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git
  cd models/syntaxnet/tensorflow
  ./configure
  cd ..
  bazel test syntaxnet/... util/utf8/...
  # On Mac, run the following:
  bazel test --linkopt=-headerpad_max_install_names \
    syntaxnet/... util/utf8/...

Bazel should complete reporting all tests passed.
