From the OpeNER project website:

OpeNER is a language analysis toolchain helping (academic) researchers and companies make sense out of "natural language analysis"

OpeNER needs an execution environment with a lot of requirements:

• A mac / linux / unix kind of operating system
• JRuby 1.7.9+
• Python 2.6+
• Java 1.7+
• Perl 5+
• libarchive development headers

Thanks to Docker, it's very easy to create such an environment, without side effects on your operating system!

You can clone this repo and build the image yourself:

docker build -t opener .

Or directly get it from Docker Hub

For example, you can start the language-identifier-server this way :

docker run -it -p 9292:9292 opener language-identifier-server

and then access the service page at http://localhost:9292
