In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Accelerated Text on Linux Mint. Accelerated Text is an open-source tool for generating natural language text. It is developed by Accelerated Intelligence and can be downloaded from their Github repository.
Before starting, make sure your Linux Mint system is up-to-date with the latest updates and packages. If you are not sure how to update your system, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Before you can install Accelerated Text, you need to install some dependencies. Here are the packages you need to install:
To install these packages, open your terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo apt install virtualenv
sudo apt install git
Now that we have our dependencies, let's clone the Accelerated Text repository from Github. In your terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/accelerated-text/accelerated-text.git
Once the cloning is complete, navigate to the Accelerated Text directory:
cd accelerated-text
Now let's set up our virtual environment. In your terminal, run the following command:
virtualenv venv
This will create a new directory called venv inside the Accelerated Text directory, which will contain all the dependencies required for Accelerated Text.
To activate the virtual environment, run the following command:
source venv/bin/activate
Your terminal prompt should now have (venv) at the beginning of it, indicating that you are now inside the virtual environment.
Now that the virtual environment is active, let's install the dependencies required for Accelerated Text. Run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will take a few minutes to complete.
To run Accelerated Text, simply run the following command in your terminal:
python acceltext.py
This will start the application, and you can start generating natural language text.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps of installing Accelerated Text on Linux Mint. We started by installing the necessary packages, cloned the GitHub repository, set up a virtual environment, installed the dependencies, and ran the application. With these steps, you should now have Accelerated Text installed and ready for use.
