Thank you both. I just deleted everything and redownloaded in order to make sure all files were transferred properly. I downloaded ctakes version 3.2.2, and resources version 3.2.1.1.
As outlined in the User Guide, I moved the temp resources download to the apache folder, overwriting the previous resources folder. I confirmed that there is a folder /apache-ctakes-3.2.2/resources/org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/fast When trying to load an UMLS AE (Aggregate Plain Text), this that I get the error message: “org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException: initialization of annotator class “org.apache.ctakes.assertio.medfacts.cleartk.HistoryCleartkAnalysisEngine” failed.” Here is the terminal output: 27 Sep 2016 13:58:32 INFO Chunker - Chunker model file: org/apache/ctakes/chunker/models/chunker-model.zip 27 Sep 2016 13:58:33 INFO ContextDependentTokenizerAnnotator - Finite state machines loaded. 27 Sep 2016 13:58:33 INFO ConstituencyParser - Initializing parser...

I think resources are missing in your cTakes installation. Did you download the UMLS resources separately from https://sourceforge.net/projects/ctakesresources/files/?source=navbar And You have to put these resources under org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/ Hope that Helps !

That seems to have solved that issue, but now when I try to load AE I get an error message popup that states: "org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException". I'm not sure what this means? It only happens when I try to load the AEs that utilize UMLS. Thanks in advance. ________________________________ From: Bandeep Singh [bsi...@phemi.com<mailto:bsi...@phemi.com>] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2016 5:24 PM To: user@ctakes.apache.org<mailto:user@ctakes.apache.org> Subject: Re: Trouble loading AE Hi Milena, It looks like a classic example of Java version mismatch. One of the dependencies of cTakes is Java 8 Please make sure you have JAVA SDK installed and not JRE. I have OpenJDK 8 running on my system and cTakes runs fine on my system. -Bandeep On Tue, Sep 13, 2016 at 2:32 PM, Gianfrancesco, Milena <milena.gianfrance...@ucsf.edu<mailto:milena.gianfrance...@ucsf.edu>> wrote: Hello, I have just installed cTakes and followed instructions in the 3.2 User Install Guide.
