Downloading NLTK on an iPad (complete newbie, needs help)

jai.jazo

Hello,

How do you download NLTK on an iPad? Is is possible? I haven’t had much success. Would anybody mind walking me through the step-by-step process? How would you download both the corpus and NLTK itself?

There are many threads in this, which you can find searching on google for pythonista nltk.

In short: install stash, use pip to install nltk (or use the standalone installer that various people have posted to pythonista-tools), then use nltk.download() for the corpus.

Do you do this in the console? I’m still not entirely sure how to install these in general. I’ve read the other posts.

Thanks!

I believe I’ve installed pip. How do you install NLTK?

@jai.jazo, if you have Stash installed, start it and run pip install nltk on the command line.
