AFNER is part of the AnswerFinder project:

Dependencies
------------

You need the following software before installing and running this
program. This version has been tested on Ubuntu 16:10.

* g++
* autoconf
* make
* GDBM
* Boost libraries (www.boost.org). Apart from the standard Boost
  libraries, the following libraries are required:
     - regex
     - filesystem
     - program_options
     - serialization

The following code will install all the required software on a fresh
install of Ubuntu 16:10:

apt update
apt install g++ autoconf make libboost-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-seria\
lization-dev libgdbm-dev

Installing
----------

To install AFNER, run the following commands:

> autoreconf
> automake --add-missing
> autoreconf
> ./configure
> make

An executable 'afner' will be created in the 'src' directory.

The file INSTALL gives more details about the configure program

Running
-------

To run AFNER as a stand-alone program, use the executable src/afner. A
simple example of use is:

> cd src
> ./afner -P ~/corpora/BBN/unison/Test/Input/ -O afner-output

This example runs AFNER in testing mode to find the named entities of
all files stored in the directory '~/corpora/BBN/unison/Test/Input/'. The
result is stored in directory 'afner-output/'.

For the full options run afner --help. For a more detailed explanation
of the system read the documentation in the 'doc' directory.

Documentation
-------------

The installation process will create the file 'doc/afnerDoc.info' that
can be read using the 'info' program. To create an HTML version, run:

> make html
