## Installation
|
|
|
|
wordfreq requires Python 3 and depends on a few other Python modules
|
|
(msgpack-python, langcodes, and ftfy). You can install it and its dependencies
|
|
in the usual way, either by getting it from pip:
|
|
|
|
pip3 install wordfreq
|
|
|
|
or by getting the repository and running its setup.py:
|
|
|
|
python3 setup.py install
|
|
|
|
To handle word frequency lookups in Japanese, you need to additionally install
|
|
mecab-python3, which itself depends on libmecab-dev. These commands will
|
|
install them on Ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install mecab-ipadic-utf8 libmecab-dev
|
|
pip3 install mecab-python3
|
