I am very, very new to NLP and the like. Therefore, I have a very basic question. I want to POS-tag an corpus of files with TreeTagger using a Mac OSX 10.6.8. I have installed TreeTagger by using the instructions provided at http://www.cis.uni-muenchen.de/~schmid/tools/TreeTagger/

[I installed it in /Applications]

Then I have installed Lingua-TreeTagger-0.06 for 'for calling the TreeTagger and manipulating its output'. This took a lot of effort to do.

[I installed it in /Applications]

I think I have succeeded in the previous steps. Now what? I mean how do I call Tree-Tagger?

Thanks to anybody who could help me?

    have you followed the instructions? where are your problems? You just call it like any other command line program. From within the installation directory, you do `cmd/tree-tagger-‹your language›-utf8 < ‹your text file›`. – Patrick J. S. Feb 16 '15 at 00:39
  • Thanks Patrick. Your answer got me on the right track. – María Calzada Mar 03 '15 at 11:30
  • I think this could be closed or something. rtfm, but it is still in unanswered questions. – bytepusher Sep 04 '15 at 08:51

Lingua::TreeTagger is a Perl module that is useful only if you want to use TreeTagger from within a Perl script. Examples of how to do so are given in the module's online documentation. Otherwise you should call the tree-tagger application from the terminal as commented by Patrick J.S. above (unless you are on Windows, where a user-friendly graphical interface is available).
