Download and install

Linguistica 5 is available through pip:

$ pip install linguistica

Linguistica 5 works with Python 2.7 and 3.4+.

To use the graphical user interface, only Python 3 is supported. In addition, PyQt5 and SIP are required. PyQt5 is readily available from pip:

$ pip install PyQt5

At the time of writing (April 2017), SIP is best downloaded and installed from its source. (SIP is available through pip, but it does not include the C/C++ code generator for PyQt5.)

To test the installation:

>>> import linguistica as lxa
>>> lxa.__version__  # show version number
