Vanda Studio

Vanda Studio is an integrated development environment that allows for rapid incremental design of small-scale machine-translation experiments.

Installation from git

  1. check out the git archive:
  • git clone <repo> <target_folder>
  1. go to <target_folder>/share/packages:
  • cd <target_folder>/share/packages
  1. build the package util:
  • ./vandapkg.bash makepkg implementations/util
  1. install the package util:
  • ./vandapkg.bash install util.tar.gz interfaces/util.xml

Installation of packages

  1. build the package (usually from share/packages/implementations)
  • ./vandapkg.bash makepkg <path_to_package>
  1. install tool interface (usually from share/packages/interfaces)
  • ./vandapkg.bash install <path_to_interface_xml>
  1. install tool implementation
  • ./vandapkg.bash install <path_to_package_tar.gz>

We will someday provide a repository of stable package versions to simplify the installation process.

Tool interfaces and tool implementations

  1. tool interfaces provide the tool boxes in the gui of Vanda Studio.
  2. tool implementations provide the implementation of tool interfaces.
  3. a tool box can only be executed of a corresponding tool implementation is installed.

Create packages

You can create your own packages with three steps:

  1. create a folder for the package (folder name is the package name)
  2. create two files (use another package as a template)
    • install.bash: installation script
    • func.bash: is called in the execution of tool boxes
  3. create a tool interface xml (use another tool interface as a template)
    • the tool ids, port names, and port types in the tool interface xml and the install.bash have to match (otherwise, Vanda Haskell will throw NullPointerException upon loading the tool)

Compilation and execution

Vanda Studio uses the build tool ant. The following commands can be executed in the git root directory:

Command Description
ant compile compiles the project
ant run runs the project

Fonts

You may set a custom font for the user interface by putting an entry like <entry key="font">Droid Sans Mono</entry> in the config file (usually at ~/.vanda/studio.conf).
