The following ILK/CLiPS software has been packaged for Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora by Joost van Baal (ad 1810):

• TiMBL and TimblServer
• MBT and MbtServer
• Dimbl
• libfolia
• ucto
• frogdata and Frog

Follow the instructions on this page to for your package manager of choice.

Getting and installing ILK/CLiPS software can be done using either the command line from the console, or using a GUI. Using the console, operate this way:

First enable the TiCC Debian packages repository ("TiCC" is the Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication, the research center of which the ILK research group is a part).

 echo deb http://apt.ticc.uvt.nl squeeze main contrib non-free >\
 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ticc.list

(This adds the TiCC repository to your configuration. Alternatively, use wheezy when appropriate.)
You can also manually edit
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ticc.list or /etc/apt/sources.list
to contain the line:

deb http://apt.ticc.uvt.nl squeeze main contrib non-free

 apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys B15CD6AC

(This enabling needs to be done only once.) Once this is setup, you can install a TiCC package by running e.g. (as root):

 apt-get update && apt-get install timbl

Choose "mbt", "timblserver", ... instead of "timbl" if appropriate, of course.

Using the GNOME GUI, one does:

• go to System->Administration->Software Sources
• go to tab 'Third-party-Software'
• click 'Add'
• enter 'deb http://apt.ticc.uvt.nl squeeze main contrib non-free'
• optionally, enter 'deb-src http://apt.ticc.uvt.nl squeeze main contrib non-free'
• In order to obtain the key that is used to sign the TiCC apt repository, you can use:
  $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys B15CD6AC

As of may 2012 packages for Ubuntu are available for both oneiric and precise.

On Oneiric: using the Unity GUI, one does:

• go to System Settings (found under the 'gearwheel' logo of your GUI in the right top location)
• go to System ->Software Sources

Or, On Precise: using the Unity GUI, one does:

• Open the Ubuntu Software Centre
• select edit -> Software Sources...

• select the tab 'Other-Software'
• click 'Add'
• enter 'deb http://apt.ticc.uvt.nl precise main contrib non-free' (or oneiric when applicable to you)
• optionally, enter 'deb-src http://apt.ticc.uvt.nl precise main contrib non-free'
• In order to obtain the key that is used to sign the TiCC apt repository, you can use:
  $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys B15CD6AC

To get and install TiCC software on your Fedora Core 16 system, you can use yum.

First enable the TiCC RPM packages repository. As root, run:

 cat <<EOT >/etc/yum.repos.d/ticc.repo
 [ticc]
 name = TiCC Software
 baseurl = http://rpm.ticc.uvt.nl/fedora-core-16-yum-rpm
 EOT

(This enabling needs to be done only once.) Once this is setup, you can install a TiCC package by running e.g. (as root):

 yum --nogpgcheck install timbl

Choose "mbt", "timblserver", ... instead of "timbl" if appropriate, of course.
