Learn Languages with Balalingo

NLParrot

Balalingo is only the graphical user interface, it also requires a Text Analysis Server to work. You can run the analysis server (called nlparrot) with docker:

docker run --rm --name nlparrot -p 127.0.0.1:12345:12345 -e NLPARROT_LISTEN_HOST=0.0.0.0 -e NLPARROT_LISTEN_PORT=12345 balalingo/nlparrot

Configuration

You can run Balalingo by executing the file balalingo/balalingo from the downloaded package. When you first start Balalingo you should configure it. For this choose Options → Options in Balalingo. Some configuration options apply immediately, some require a restart (there is no clear distinction, yet), so please restart Balalingo.
