LanguageTool

Linter installation guides

LanguageTool

• First go to https://languagetool.org/ and download the desktop version or install it using your operating systems package manager
• If you are installing it yourself, you need to extract the files from the zip archive (https://dev.languagetool.org/http-server) and put them at a location of your convenience like ~/languagetool/. Then create a small wrapper, e.g. the following. If the wrapper is not available as languagetool within path, and tell ALE about it by configuring g:ale_languagetool_executable="~/bin/languagetool"

Example wrapper:

#!/bin/sh
java -jar ~/Applications/LanguageTool-5.2/languagetool-commandline.jar $@

For Windows, a languagetool.cmd wrapper looks like:

@java -jar ~\LanguageTool\languagetool-commandline.jar %*
