You do not need to run the pipeline. You should therefore do the following 1. Download the language pack from the relevant wiki page https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/JOSHUA/Language+Packs 2. decompress is as follows "tar xopf apache-joshua-am-en-2016-11-18.tar" 3. change into the decompressed language pack "cd apache-joshua-am-en-2016-11-18" 4. Read the content contained within the README "cat README" 5. Run the Joshua decoder "./joshua 6. The Joshua decoder will start running, accepting input from STDIN and writing to STDOUT. Joshua expects its input in the form of a single sentence per line. Each sentence should first be piped through `prepare.sh`, which normalizes and tokenizes the input for the language pack's source language. You can therefore throw some text at the Decoder server "cat example.am | ./prepare.sh | ./joshua > output.en" 7. Take a look at the output "cat output.en" Hopefully the above enables you to move forward. > By the way I think I don't very well understand how i define "--type >> (hiero...) ".

If it does not, write back to us and please make sure to include the dev@ mailing list when you respond. Thank you Lewis
