Binaries

If you want to run Ollie on a small amount of text without modifying the source code, you can use an executable file that can be run from the command line. Follow these steps to get started:
  1. Download the latest Ollie binary.
  2. Download the linear English MaltParser model and place it in the same directory as Ollie.
  3. Run java -Xmx512m -jar ollie-app-latest.jar yourfile.txt. The input file should contain one sentence per line unless --split is specified. Omit the input file for an interactive console.

Code

The Ollie source is available on GitHub.
