INSTALLING LRApy
----------------

This programme requires

1. Python 2.4.4 or higher.
   You can download the current version of Python from
   http://www.python.org/

2. the Python package Numpy.
   You can download the current version of Numpy from
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/

3. the Python C-extension Looker module.
   All the files you need to include this extension ('Lookermodule.c',
   'setup.py', 'setup.cfg') come with the tar.gz archive file.

   To install it go to 'src' and type
     python setup.py build

   That compiles the file 'Lookermodule.c' and builds the Python extension
   locally, so that you can import it in 'src' with
     import Looker
   
   The compilation must be done with the same compiler, with whom
   your local Python was compiled (attention Windows users!).


If all these components are installed on your system, you can start the
Latent Relational Analysis from the command line:
  python src/lra.py <task_file> <corpus_directory>
  
On more information regarding the format of the task file and the
requirements of the corpus directory, please see the README.


To optimize the performance, you can optionally install Psyco.
You can download the current version of Psyco from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/psyco/
