Help:LanguageTool/Vagrant
Attempt on a common Vagrant instance.
Initial setup of Mediawiki-Vagrant
editThe usual setup is as described on MediaWiki-Vagrant, and yes you need Git
$ mkdir ~/ltspace
$ cd ~/ltspace
$ git clone --recursive https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/vagrant .
$ ./setup.sh
$ vagrant box update
$ vagrant up
Git update
editAt this point you should do a $ vagrant git-update
in the host directory, otherwise you will probably run into problems later. Then do a $ vagrant reload
to make sure everything works.
At this point you should clean up the client for outdated apt pakages. Do a
$ vagrant ssh
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
$ exit
Note that this still leaves the box running old software, and you should do a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
from time to time.
Roles for the host
editUse the following additional roles
VisualEditor
editThis is the new visual editor, which would be the primary accesspoint for LanguageTool.
$ vagrant enable-role visualeditor && vagrant provision && vagrant git-update
Java in the guest
editNot clear if the version should be 7 or 8. Only thing I got to pass was Java 8 from Oracle.
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default
Maven would now install as 3.0.5, which is to old for some packages as they need 3.3+. Latest as of this writing is 3.5.0[1][2]
$ sudo apt-get purge -y maven
$ wget http://apache.uib.no/maven/maven-3/3.5.0/binaries/apache-maven-3.5.0-bin.tar.gz
$ tar -zxf apache-maven-3.5.0-bin.tar.gz
$ sudo mv apache-maven-3.5.0 /usr/local
$ ln -s /usr/local/apache-maven-3.5.0/bin/mvn /usr/bin/mvn
$ echo "export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven-3.5.0" >> ~/.profile
Check versions, they should all report 1.8 -ish and 3.5 -ish
$ javac -version
$ java -version
$ mvn -version
Additional tweaks for maven is to set the environment variable MAVEN_OPTS in ~/.profile
[3]
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
It could also be necessary to add maven to the PATH
export PATH=/opt/apache-maven-3.5.0/bin:$PATH
Clone LanguageTool
editCreate the dir for the LanguageTool and clone the repo[4] (Please avoid hammering the public API.[5])
$ mkdir /vagrant/languagetool
$ cd /vagrant/languagetool
For the official repo use
$ git clone --depth 5 https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool.git .
For the forked repo use
$ git clone --depth 5 https://github.com/jeblad/languagetool.git .
Now do a first test run (before this you should probably set more memory for the guest, like 3072MB)
$ mvn clean test package
Add the classpath to ~/.profile
(could also be the common /etc/profile
)
export CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/vagrant/languagetool/languagetool-standalone/target/LanguageTool-3.9-SNAPSHOT/LanguageTool-3.9-SNAPSHOT/*"
Now source the ~/.profile
(could also be the common /etc/profile
) and start the server[6]
$ source ~/.profile
$ java org.languagetool.server.HTTPServer --port 8081
The server can now be tested by a call
$ curl --data "language=en-US&text=a simple test" http://localhost:8081/v2/check
