Installing NLTK on pythonista
-
Hellow, So I was able to use pipista to dowload nltk. Now I can see the nltk-2.0.4.tar.gz file in the directory. However, I am trying to use shellista to untar and ungzip this package, but pythonista always tells me the file cannot be found? Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Thanks -
do you see the file when you do an ls? If not trying changing directories until you do.
-
By default packages downloaded with Pipista will land in the
pypi-modulesfolder, so you'll first need to runcd pypi-modulesand then theungzipanduntarcommands. -
It didnt land in the pypi-modules foldr. it landed in the scripts library. But I attempted moving it to the folder and it is still giving me the same error.
-
So it is now in the scripts folder? (i.e. when you cd scripts and ls, you can see it there). While in that directory you do gunzip nltk-2.0.4.tar.gz and you should be left with a .tar file which you can then do untar nltk-2.0.4.tar. What is the error msg?
-
No it is in the overall area. Not in a folder.
But how do u cd back to the overall directory? -
'cd ..' (without the quotes) will take you up a level
