how to try out gensim without installing it?

[Fil]

Hello

maybe I'm too lazy or impatient but after trying with no luck to install gensim on Mac OS then on a Linux box, I'm giving up for the moment. Fortran compilers have had me :)

I'd like to know if there is some way I could lazily try gensim on a corpus without having to go through the installation process?

For instance, is there a system image suitable for amazon EC2? Or, a gensim server that I could use over the net? Or, maybe even better, would one of you be a researcher be interested in collaborating on "real" data (a newspaper's archives)?

Thanks for your advice.

https://github.com/cleder/restsims potentially can be used
for a service over the web.

It is on the TODO

* authentication, signup
* multiple indexes per restsims server
* TTW creation of indexes

If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left,
you will also automatically save the physical environment, too. But If
you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both.

1) Don’t drive species to extinction

2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on.

3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above.

Hi Fil,

if scipy installation from source fails for you, you can use a pre-
built (binary) package. SciPy ("scientific computing in Python") is a
dependency, needed by gensim.

There are scipy packages for OS X on the scipy download page, as well
as in many Linux distributions (e.g. "apt-get install python-scipy" in
Debian).

Or just ask someone in your IT department -- I'm not aware of any EC2
system images or public sandbox servers with gensim, sorry.

Best,
Radim

thank you, it works (using apt-get)
