CWB main package

back to top

Select an appropriate binary distribution for your computer platform:

• cwb-3.0.0-osx-10.5-universal.tar.gz (Mac OS X Universal, 4.3 MiB)
• cwb-3.0.0-linux-i386.tar.gz (Linux Intel 32-bit, 7.3 MiB)
• cwb-3.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz (Linux Intel 64-bit, 8.9 MiB)
• cwb-3.0.0-solaris-sparc.tar.gz (Solaris 8 SPARC, 4.4 MiB)

If you prefer to compile the source code yourself, download the archive below. You may want to consult the HowTo guide for your platform in the CWB wiki.

• cwb-3.0.0-source.tar.gz (source code, 1.6 MiB)

Note that the Windows release is still in beta testing.

Perl API & support packages

back to top

• Perl-CWB-2.2.102.tar.gz (source code, 0.2 MiB) – base package, recommended for all CWB users
• Perl-CWB-CL-2.2.102.tar.gz (source code, 0.1 MiB) – low-level corpus access (requires C compiler)
• Perl-CWB-Web-2.2.102.tar.gz (source code, 0.1 MiB) – support package for Web GUIs
• Perl-CWB-CQI-2.2.102.tar.gz (source code, 0.1 MiB) – the CQi reference implementation

Note: This version of CWB/Perl has not been fully updated for the official release of CWB 3.0.0 yet, and it is not compatible with the current beta track CWB 3.4.x. We're working on the necessary changes and hope to release fully functional versions of all CWB/Perl packages soon.

CQPweb and other GUIs

back to top

• CQPweb: PHP-based Web interface for Apache 2 and other Web servers.
  As rapidly-evolving software, CQPweb is best installed from the SourceForge repository.The base package CWB of the Perl API has to be installed (see HTML help document within the code itself for more info).
  The old version 2.12 release (CQPweb-2.12.tar.gz) has some known bugs, and should not be used unless you cannot run the more recent versions.
• EUROPARL Web interface Europarl-GUI-2.2.102_patched.tar.gz (all platforms, 0.1 MiB)
  This Web GUI requires compatible versions of the Perl API packages CWB, CWB-CL and CWB-Web to be installed. It is ideal for use with the pre-encoded Europarl version 3 corpus (see below). If you have downloaded the Europarl GUI source code before, please make sure to install the patched version above for full compatibility with the pre-indexed Europarl 3!

Pre-encoded corpora

back to top

• Novels by Charles Dickens (DICKENS, 37.5 MiB) for CQP tutorial
• Collection of German law texts (GERMAN-LAW, 20.9 MiB) for CQP tutorial

• Europarl 3 (EUROPARL-EN/DE/FR/ES/IT/NL, 2.2 GiB) with proceedings of the European Parliament in 6 languages
  Substitute placeholders in the URL with release date (28 February 2010) in order to keep robots away and prevent accidental downloads.

Import & export utilities

back to top

• BNC_encoder-0.9.2.zip (all platforms, 0.1 MiB) – recoding & indexing scripts for the British National Corpus (XML edition)

SVN access (source code)

back to top

If you want to use versions with the latest improvements and bug fixes, you can export the source code directly from its Subversion repository with the commands listed below. These commands should work on Mac OS X and Linux; on Windows, install a SVN client such as TortoiseSVN and enter the URL parts of the commands.

• svn export http://svn.code.sf.net/p/cwb/code/cwb/branches/3.0 cwb-3.0 (IMS Open Corpus Workbench)
• svn export http://svn.code.sf.net/p/cwb/code/perl/trunk/CWB Perl-CWB-3.0 (Perl CWB package)
• svn export http://svn.code.sf.net/p/cwb/code/perl/trunk/CWB-CL Perl-CWB-CL-3.0 (Perl CWB-CL package)
• svn export http://svn.code.sf.net/p/cwb/code/perl/trunk/CWB-Web Perl-CWB-Web-3.0 (Perl CWB-Web package)
• svn export http://svn.code.sf.net/p/cwb/code/perl/trunk/CWB-Web Perl-CWB-CQI-3.0 (CQi reference implementation)
• svn export http://svn.code.sf.net/p/cwb/code/gui/cqpweb/trunk CQPweb (CQPweb GUI)

Not that the 3.0 versions are not the most cutting-edge versions, but rather the most stable versions currently available. For the cutting-edge, see the developer instructions.

Follow the respective installation notes for CWB source code, Perl modules and CQPweb.
