If you use Ubuntu 14.04, you need to install Python 3.5 (by default Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't have Python 3.5, unlike Ubuntu 16.04), which you can do as follows:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python3.5
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python3.5 get-pip.py
sudo mv /usr/local/bin/pip /usr/local/bin/pip3
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/pip2.7 /usr/local/bin/pip
pip3 install --upgrade pip
To install TensorFlow:
# If you want NeuroNER to be able to use the GPU (in which case CUDA >= 8.0 is required):
sudo pip3 install tensorflow-gpu
# If you do not plan to use the GPU:
sudo pip3 install tensorflow
To install CUDA 8.0 (only required if you have installed tensorflow-gpu):
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/8.0/Prod2/local_installers/cuda-repo-ubuntu1404-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1404-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cuda
To install a few more packages which NeuroNER depends on:
sudo pip3 install -U networkx matplotlib scikit-learn scipy pycorenlp
# Installing SpaCy
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential python3.5-dev
sudo pip3 install -U spacy
sudo python3.5 -m spacy download en
To install BRAT (optional, you just need it if you want to easily create, change or view the annotations):
mkdir brat
cd brat
wget http://weaver.nlplab.org/~brat/releases/brat-v1.3_Crunchy_Frog.tar.gz
tar xzf brat-v1.3_Crunchy_Frog.tar.gz
cd brat-v1.3_Crunchy_Frog
./install.sh -u
# To run BRAT (requires Python 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7):
python standalone.py
BRAT should now be accessible through the web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8001.
You can now download and run NeuroNER.
